Improved digital version of “The Kentucky Rifle”
« on: July 16, 2025, 12:16:37 AM »
Back in 2022 I took photos of all the pages of my copy of the first edition of Dillin's book "The Kentucky Rifle" and put them online using an awkward html-based format. Today I obtained a professionally scanned searchable pdf version and put it online at: https://korns.org/gunsmiths/The-Kentucky-Rifle-Dillin-1924/The-Kentucky-Rifle-1924.html You may need to hit your refresh button to see the current version of the page.
