Sort of both with lots of pictures, how to chapters and stories of what it is like to make your living in this line of work. I have writen several chapters on action selection and alterations stock design, stock work including shapping and finishing, checkering and other options. I even have a chapter on wildcat cartridges and figuring out how to develop the loads for them. Also included are some stories of hunting Africa and how I got into this type of work. What we are trying to achieve is a book that any one in the gun world can enjoy reading and learn from. It seems to me that too many "custom gunsmiths" do not want to share their knowledge and thus this is a dying art I am afraid. When I was a 12 year old boy Wallace Gussler shered his knowledge and words of wisdom with me and I have never forgotten him or his kind addvice of wisdom, fact is he is why I got into this line of work. When finished with this book if it entertains, or possably encourages someone to follow in the tradition of some so the great custom gunbuilders, (I am not saying I am one of the greats, but I would love to be!!!) then all the work involved in a book will have been worth while.

It is the small calibers that are the biggest bores.
