Ebook About Winchester lever-action repeating rifles are an integral part of the folklore of the American West. Introduced after the American Civil War, the first Winchester, the M1866, would go on to see military service as far afield as Bulgaria, but it was in the hands of civilians that it would become known as 'The gun that won the west'. Offering a lethal combination of portability, ruggedness and ammunition interchangeability with pistol sidearms, the Winchesters and their innovative and elegant breech-loading system represented a revolutionary design. They were used by a staggering variety of military and civilian groups - gold-miners, trappers, hunters, farmers, lawmen, professional gunmen and Native Americans. It equipped a whole generation of settlers and as such left an imprint on American culture that continues to resonate today. This book explores the Winchesters' unique place in history, revealing the technical secrets of their success with a full array of colour artwork, period illustrations and close-up photographs.Book Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Review :
Is there a more iconic American firearm than the lever-action Winchester? Both the author and I would say "No!" This is the story of the Winchester rifle from Henry to Browning with all the stops in between.Author Martin Pegler gives us a very good chronicle of the lever-action rifles we all call "Winchesters" even if they are actually Henrys, Ubertis, Marlins etc. It's a very good short work on a rifle and an action that is uniquely American.The story begins with various attempts to make a breech-loading, repeating firearms including the Jennings, the Spencer and the Smith & Wesson "Volcanic" weapons. The story moves on to B. Tyler Henry who worked on the Volcanic and was wisely kept on by Winchester when the latter bought out the Volcanic Arms Co. Henry was able to make it work by working simultaneously on the rifle and self-contained ammunition that it would fire.From there, the author takes the reader through the decades after, from model to model and from technological change to technological change. I felt the author does a good job of tracing the path of lever-action development with the figures that would significantly contribute to the weapon. The author then moves on to the lever-action in battle between pioneers and Indians (both would use it) and the US Army often found on the receiving end! I always thought it interesting that although the US Army rejected the weapon, other "warriors" embraced it.The author tracks it's use in the hands of Indians, law enforcement, various banditti. He looks at the use by hunters and Hollywood. The author points out that the Winchester lever-action and the .30-30 Win. caliber are probably responsible for taking more game than any other firearm in US history. Westerns have always been a staple of the movie industry in America and the Winchester often found itself pride of place in them. From "Winchester '73" to "True Grit" wherein "Duke" Wayne would spincock his Winchester as "Rooster Cogburn", these movies celebrated the Winchester more than any other weapon...with the exception of the Colt SAA.The author even gives the reader accounts of various incarnations of the Winchester lever-action in "musket" form used in foreign militaries. This is an excellent work with the usual, excellent Osprey period photos and color plates. I was impressed by the author's comprehensive coverage of this weapon family.I am the proud owner of a Winchester model 94AE "Trapper" in .357 magnum and can attest to the good handling qualities as well as the excellent shootability of the carbine. This is a very good volume which gives the reader an excellent history of the firearm in a very readable and accessible package. I recommend it with five stars. Normally I shy away from the Osprey Weapon Series as I am not technically astute enough for some of the terminology and terminology used in the books. However, I have read other Weapon books by Mr. Pegler and enjoyed them, so I decided to take the plunge. I am not dissatisfied. The book is well written understandable and while still written with the knowledge of firearm development does not bog you down. The book clearly explains why the Winchester usually used the same ammo as the .45 pistol. I had always assumed it was for economic reasons (cowboys couldn't afford to buy different types of ammo), but it was because of the weakness in the lever action. Never the less the rifle did what most of its users needed, a lot of bullets down range. I had read that the Winchester 1895 had been carried by some French soldiers in WW1 I was not aware of its use by the Russian. I had read how the Ottomans had used it to great effect against the Russian in the Balkan Wars and that conflict was mentioned, a little more detail into its use during those battles would have been informative. The artwork is superlative as are the pictures Read Online Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Download Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) PDF Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Mobi Free Reading Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Download Free Pdf Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) PDF Online Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Mobi Online Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Reading Online Winchester Lever-Action Rifles (Weapon Book 42) Read Online Martin Pegler Download Martin Pegler Martin Pegler PDF Martin Pegler Mobi Free Reading Martin Pegler Download Free Pdf Martin Pegler PDF Online Martin Pegler Mobi Online Martin Pegler Reading Online Martin PeglerDownload Mobi Lincoln and Whitman: Parallel Lives in Civil War Washington By Daniel Mark Epstein
