hard to beat hammers for aesthetics:  I miss this one purely for the fondling it afforded.

Thank you for the heads up. I ordered my copy from Amazon.com and I just received it today. It will keep me busy for a few nights. Like some other members have stated it, I find the hammer guns addictive. The more I read and shoot them, the more I want them. BillK

Just looking a bit closer at some of the illustrations in Diggory's book and I noticed that the Conway gun on page 38 describing the Thomas action was one I sold him a few years ago for a small sum and a copy of his first book signed to me. Interesting how things re-appear. Pleased he chose to retain it. Lagopus.....

According to Graham Greener, it was an inexpensive gun known as the Dominion model. Unfortunately, that particular one had some serious modification, otherwise it would have been a keeper.

Received my copy a few days ago, ordered trough Amazon at a nice price. A good work indeed, as the older two books from the same author.Very recommendable.

Having just bought another hammer gun, a Wm Cashmore , I have now followed it by the purchase of this book.

I own an Italian made hammer gun [2005] that is beautiful but does not shoot as well as it looks because of the slow fall of the hammers.
What if anything, can be done?

I ordered my copy through Amazon.com and I must say, I could not put it down since I got it in my hands. I like his writing and the way the book chapters are organized. More like short stories, to where I can read the ones I am most interest in first, without any specific sequence.
