Bolt Action Rifle

This is a Cd-rom that requires the use of a computer to read. The author explores the original records and the bolt-action rifles themselves to reveal the fine nuances of many popular bolt-action mechanisms. The drawings exemplify the study; they were done by working from the guns, not factory drawings, old blueprints or catalogs. You will find in this book such things as lock times, spring rates and cam angles. There is also considerable historical content. For the modern actions, the historical recitation is based on the public record and on the recollections and statements of the men who did the design work.
