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.

I get the whole 690 pages of the book to read on that link, am I missing something?

Oh bugger!

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

He's an American gun comic writer so he must know everything.

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