Has anyone read "Niles' Guide to 'Affordable' Double Barrel Shotguns in America 1875-1945?" Apparently Nick Niles spent his working life in the American gun industry and spent years on this work - I wonder if anyone has seen it. There is only one not very helpful review on Amazon.

I have a copy. It is very informative about the "hardware store" and catalog guns which were popular at this time with relatively brief mentions of some of the major maker's lower grade guns. There were a lot of guns in there I was not even vaguely aware of. It must have taken a long time to put this information together.

Thanks for your report, Bob. It should be an interesting contribution to low-end American gunmaking.

His brother told me the author spent many years assembling the data and was an insider in the American gunmaking world.

So often "grandpa's gun" was one of those.

May I suggest "Dreams From My Father" by Barack Obama... a primer on the path to banning affordable American shotguns and everything else we shoot! The guy you told us would never infringe on gunowners rights just had his Sec'y. of State John Kerry sign the U.S. on to the U.N. Small Arms Treaty. Now who woulda' saw that one coming?


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Not that I approve of either of the gentlemen mentioned above, but it's good to remember--so as not to suffer from excessive paranoia--that a treaty has no force in this country unless ratified by the Senate. And even though the Dems are in control of the Senate, a lot of them are red state Dems and would be committing political suicide if they voted for something like that. See the recent Colorado recall.

Aside from commenting on the oxymoron...

This misguided tome is already being heavily discounted almost everywhere.

No wonder. Its like writing a book on Craftsman socket wrenches and thinking it will sell big.

That may well be the case Larry,however the treaty will be sitting there awaiting another bride and lie push just as they dems did to get obamacare through.

And,if the past is any indication,this administration already has the " we can't wait" speech written up for the next tragedy ready to once again ignore the Constitution.

Really? Could you point out some of those places? A quick google search shows the book retailing at $69.95 and the deepest discount I saw was about 10 bucks.
