Hi all, I'm trying to get a little reference library together on double guns. Heres what I have now:
Spanish Best
Game Gun
Best Guns
Need some more suggestions on some other titles. Looking for general info, history and info on the guns and the makers.
What say you?
Thanks so much!!

Just try to remember that you ask!
This is way out of date and contains many mistakes, if you would like to add to the list email me the info and I’ll up date it. When and if I ever get some spare time I’ll clean it up.

Admittedly, I have not read all the books ever written on shotguns, but the best I have read, by Far, is "The Modern Shotgun" by Burrard. Any list without this book is simply incomplete.
