Hi All,

I received my copy of the British Bore Rifle by Cal Pappas the other day and just wanted to say it is a great read and I encourage any and all bore rifle enthusiasts to get a copy. It has a ton of great history and stories of the users of these wonderful guns and rifles, along with loading data and many detailed photos of vintage bore rifles. It is a very well thought out book and I can't imagine how long it took to aquire all of the photos of the 60-70+ vintage bore rifles in the book.

I live in Beaverton, Oregon which is right by Portland, Oregon, if you happen to know where that is.

I did prority mail because it was the cheapest for both his bore rifle book and his 600 NE book, so that might be another reason I received mine so quickly. I imagine you should receive it this week, as California isn't that much further.

The book is great! Cal did a very thorough job of finding vintage users and what rifles they used. Definitely a lot of wonderful old rifles pictured in the book as well. The one and only Westley Richards 8-Bore Explora is in the book. I actually noticed quite a few of your rifles PM, and I must say you have amazing taste. I assume that the pair of Holland 12-Bores for The Duke of Portland are yours?

Still a great rifle with wonderful history behind it. There is something I have always liked about guns with a history of being used in India. Is it a 7 dram gun or more?
