That was one of the first books I bought on the Kentucky rifle when I first became interested in studying these guns.  I don't know if it's still available or is out of print.  But I'll bet copies become available as geezers start selling off their library collections.

runastav,

I own the AA Swivel pictured in the book, I'd love to get a copy of that magazine. Thanks for sharing.

John,

Being a geezer myself, I think I can recognize one when I see him.
