| THE ACCURATE MUZZLE BRAKE |
| By:
Troy Newlon |
| Price:
$24.95 (Softcover) |
| Some time ago Troy Newlon (a PS advertiser) gave us an advance look at the book manuscript that he was just wrapping up, The Accurate Muzzle Brake. For a fist attempt at authoring a how-to book it was quite remarkable. The book is spiral-bound, so that it will lie flat on the shop's workbench. The pages are coated so that if and when the inevitable day arrives that you spill some liquid on the pages it can be wiped off with a minimum of uccin' and mumblin'. The contents, both the narrative and the illustrations, are top notch and guide th reader from start to finish on just how to build muzzle brakes of various types and applications.
A few of the chapter titles are informative as to the book's contents: How Muzzle Brakes Work... Muzzle Brake Design (Hole Patterns & Hole Diameters, Exit Hole)... Accuracy (Crowning the Muzzle Brake, Muzzle Brake Steel, Indexing the Brake, Job Set-Up, Crown Savers)... Building the Brake (Tooling Set-Up, Threading the Brake, Tapping on Center, Milling & Drilling Hole Patterns)... Threading the Barrel (Turning the Thread Diameter, Set-Up for Threading, Types of Infeed, Angular Depth Threading, Calculating Angular Depth, Thread Inserts, Thread Fit and Classification, External/Internal Thread Dimensions), Muzzle Brake Accessories. |

| Airgun
Odyssey |
| By:
Steve Hanson |
| Price:
$33.95 (Hardcover) / $28.95 (Softcover) |
A
full size (8 1/2" x 11") 186 pages,
limited edition hardcover versions available.
Now Steve Hanson returns with his second
work, this one devoted to his other great
shooting interest... today's precision air
rifle. His approach to this new topic is
much like his approach to his earlier book...
logically organized, extensively researched,
and thoroughly tested in literally hundreds
of hours in the game fields, in Field Target
competition, and at a benchrest. The evolution
of today's precision air rifle is traced
from the early (and recent) lever action
B-B guns to the cost-in-four-figures target
and hunting guns now available. The pros
and cons of the airgun calibers are discussed
in depth for both hunting and target applications.
Airguns from foreign manufacturers are given
in-depth review as are the popular airgun-specializing
gunsmiths operating today. |

By: Frank C. Barnes
Edited by: Layne Simpson |
| Price: $32.99 (Softcover) |
| No firearms-oriented work so dominates its genre as does this enduring classic, now in its 12th edition. The first edition came off the printing press in 1965, which means that 2010 will see its 45th year of being the standard reference for many thousand shooters who take their handloading, ballistics and shooting downright seriously and who have been thoroughly spoiled by the ready availability of so much otherwise elusive firearms information right at their beck and call. |

on that topic is worth the price of admission by
itself.

| RIFLE
ACCURACY FACTS |
| By:
Harold Vaughn |
| Price:
$34.95 (Softcover) |
|
Following World War II, where he flew 100 combat
missions in P-47s and P-51s in the Pacific Theatre,
the author joined Sandia National laboratories in
New Mexico where he became recognized as the grandfather
of the Aeroballistics/Flight Mechanics Technology
base for nuclear ordnance…obviously a pretty
brainy guy. During the last few decades he became
fascinated with rifle accuracy as an avocation,
and more specifically the question of just why some
guns shot well and seeming duplicate rifles simply
did not shoot at all well. Today his book is widely
hailed as the obvious successor to Dr. F.W. Mann’s
1909 classic work The Bullet’s Flight. (292
