Mickey - I imagine that you have most of the standard references published recently?

Actually, I find some of the information published in early issues of the Big Game Rifle Club Newsletter very informative. Back then, authorities such as Wal Winfer were active members, and regular contibrutors.

Wal's knowledge is encyclopaedic and being a fellow Melbournite (one could hardly put him in the "armchair expert" category!),I have had the priviledge to have had many interesting discussions with him on subjects dear to our heart - Double and Falling Block rifles.

Wal has done us the favour of incuding some of his knowledge in his series of books on Falling Block rifles. Excellent reading that goes beyond what the titles suggest. If you can get hold of them - excellent reading.

Then there are the "Old Standards" - Burrard, Gough Thomas, J.H. Walshe, Winans, Greener, Teasdale - Buckell, Badminton Library, Lonsdale Library, etc. When I get some time, I will compile a short bibliography.
