Big-Bore Revolvers - Book

[Lee Martin]

I just received my copy of "Big Bore Revolvers" by Max Prasac. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. The layout is exceptional and his treatment of the topic is the most thorough and objective I've seen to date. I highly recommend this book:

Not only is Max a close personal friend, he's a member here on the Ruger Forum. Let's congratulate him on getting this to publication.

Ordered a copy....

Hopefully there will be a Ruger or two mentioned in the book other than those 'strange' revolvers shown on the front Hah!

That was a pre-production cover and the revolver in the upper right corner is a Blackhawk -- and the back cover features a Ruger in .500 Maximum -- there is plenty of Ruger inside! :mrgreen:

Plenty of other interesting makes as well. This book has the most accurate account of United Sporting Arms Sevilles & El Dorados.

I have searched from cover to cover in this book, and I didn't find one picture of Elmer Keith...

Maxwellian Theory applied on Big Bore Revolvers will certainly produce an explosive mix.

Thanks for the post Lee. I saw it last night, and promptly had Miss Penny get on Amazon & order mine. Looking forward to it!

How many times do we need to see the same photos of Elmer? I for one was glad to see profiles of other hunters. Namely ones that are still alive and dropping game.

I dedicated a quarter chapter to Elmer Keith. I only had so many slots for photos and decided that more gun pictures were warranted. No slight meant to Elmer.

Max,

The sheer number and quality of the photographs in your book is overwhelming - great job!

Thank you much, sir!

Just ordered mine and really looking forward to reading it. Looks like one heck of a great book. I thumb through and look at pictures, wipe drool and then settle down to read. Thanks for a great book, Max. Hope it does really well for you.

Ordered my copy! :mrgreen:

Mine's on the way!

I just received mine yesterday and lucky for me there is lotsa pics and they are good pics not something drew up.


I hope you sell so many so fast you have to do a 2nd run so others can have something to open on christmas morning

I just place an order for the book.....1 to 2 month wait. I hope it is shorter rather than longer!

In a book full of pictures, I thought a pic of Elmer in The Pioneers section would have been a good thing. Ross Seyfried got left out as well. We need to be reminded of our history.

WOW - Mine is shipped and will be here tomorrow or Saturday. Did they sell out of the current printing already?

No. You can buy them directly from me, signed or not by emailing me directly for details at [email protected]

Thanks a bunch, guys!

 

[bigboredad]

well dam now you tell me I may just have to spring for a signed copy. Hey how about just putting you signature on some tape so I can just tape it in mine. what would that cost :lol:

I did some reading of your book last night and had to put it down It got me so excited I couldn't sleep. I know that sounds wrong but don't know how else to word it. I have been looking for a book like this for quite a while Thanks

 

[hutchman]

Just canceled my Amazon order and sent you an email!

 

[sdoyl123]

Will have to pick up a copy.
