Does anyone have any comments on the new RCA Vol.1 Second Edition?

Worth the money.  Many new color photos of the original rifles, some new pieces.  If new color pics weren't available, they digitally scanned the original B&W negatives.  Addt'l new revised text.  Good stock paper.  I understand it may have been a limited printing.

TOTW has a couple images up here  https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/269/1/book-rca-v1. Looks worthwhile for sure!

Crazy Crow Trading Post has it for $160 with free postage.  I recently got a copy and I think it's worth it.

I got one from Crazy Crow and the new edition is certainly a huge upgrade to the first one.

I have the old Vol 1.
I am frugal. I don't spend on stuff I don't need, unless it is a tool or a book.
I bought a copy at Carlisle.
I do not regret my decision.

I would have to leaf through a copy before I buy it.

I believe also that it's a great resource. The updated information and the color photography makes it much more usable and easy to see more details. The book has been printed on higher quality paper than the original one so that's an added bonus. The book is available, along with many of vendors, on the Kentucky Rifle Foundation's webpage in our store. Your orders would be appreciated and help us develop even more resources for the builders.
