Synopses & Reviews
Review
"LaBounty's book is definitely for technically oriented rifle enthusiasts, as it contains more mechanical information on various methods of rifling barrels than any other single source I've ever encountered...The writing is good, though, of course, often very technical, but it's backed up by dozens of drawings and black-and-white photos, enabling readers not familiar with machining to grasp the concepts." -Rifle Magazine
Review
"It is written in a clear and concise manner (with just a dash of dry humor) and is far from a stuffy text on a complicated topic. Many of the typical "bull Session" questions one hears at a rifle match about barrel making and rifling types are answered here...Cliff's new book shows us that rifling barrels is an understandable machining process that, even if the reader can't put it into practice, at least can be comprehended." -The Black Powder Cartridge News
Review
"After a page and half of describing the contents of the book, the reviewer concludes: "While this book was not intended for the forensic firearm examiner, it contains a great deal of information that is significant to the examiner.....This book will be an excellent addition to the libraries of forensic firearm examination laboratories. It will be useful to trainees and should be particularly interesting to firearm examiners who are researching potential barrel subclass." -The AFTE Journal, the scientific Publication of the Association of Firearm & Tool Mark Examiners
