Bolt Action Rifles Expanded - 4th Edition

#1 Post by Watcher »

Has anyone got a copy of 'Bolt Action Rifles Expended - 4th Edition' by Wayne Zwoll. Google suggests that its has some coverage of the Angle M80 rifle which is a particular interest of mine. If you have a copy can you have a look and see if its got much coverage and whether its worth £15?

TIA

I didn't think too much about these couple of comments - especially as he gives no reasons.
Lee -Enfield rifles offer no possibilities for rechambering.

I strongly advise against using any Lee-Enfield action for rebarreling to any one of the wildcat cartridges based on the 303 British or 30-40 Krag case.

Oh bugger!

Wish I'd known that before I'd got my 6mm Musgraves, I'll just have to have them destroyed now.

No don't destroy them. I'll take them off your hands - it's a risk I'm willing to take! ;)

I think you'll find it's called a Mosin Nagant!
