Book Question

[Hanger]

Is there a book out there that shows different brands and their models? Not looking for a blue book, more of a reference book.

 

[Hanger]

Anyone?

I am not aware of a Shooter’s Bible for muzzleloaders. They have a smattering of blackpowder firearms in that publication, but to my knowledge there is no place to find a who’s who of muzzleloading, except this forum.

But wait, what is this “Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Arms”. Only 60 bucks.

Thanks for the response… is there any beginner books to recommend to get the basic knowledge of different commercial rifles?

Dixie Gun Works annual catalog is the "wish book" for black powder items, $5 delivered, about 600 pages.

Gun Digest publishes a Black Powder Loading Manual with basic information on a smattering of factory built firearms. The older version will have information about a lot of the firearms that are showing up on the used market. Several copies can be found with an Amazon search.

I've seen somewhere, a book like you're referencing, but don't recall anything specific about it. Have you googled all the variations of what such a book might be? You know, "The Blackpowder Replica Pistol Guide" or some such?

Could you be more specific on brands and models, might be able to help. I work at a library and I have access to a few databases.
