No. 58 now resides in my home,just have to dig through the boxes of books to put the first edition along side it for comparison purposes.

It's been donkeys years since I picked up the first ediion, and about the same since I first read it. The only note I can add is that everything in this volume appears to be fairly straight up and very do able to anyone with a modicum of intuition.

Without having the immediate resources at hand, I'm just about ready to break into machine shop and pilfer time on their mills and lathes. LOL!

I'm thinking of buildng a .45 colt on a small Stoeger action just to whet my teeth. Seems to be an offshoot of busting caps in a miniature Sharps of the same caliber some years ago.

Damn African lore books and an impressionable childhood!!!!!!
