I'm sure Alexander is a great guy.

I do not care for all of his opinions that come out in the book, mainly his distaste for post 1840 guns.

Yes, and he is quite vocal in that regard.

I once asked him for some assistance in shaping the wrist area on an Ohio rifle (half stock that might have been made in 1850'ish).

His first comment was "why would you want to build an ugly rifle like that for?" :rotf:

After about 20 minutes of trying to talk me out of it he did finally give me some priceless advice and assistance (handing me one of his Beck creations to illustrate his points).

So yes, he see's things a "certain way" (as many of us do I guess) and it does reflect in his book as well which is why I suggested a "second book" - just to balance some of the perspective.
