Any idea of the current value of this book? It's the hardcover printed for the ASSRA. I found it in a used book store.

Hello BerdanIII,

Anywhere between 10.00 and 43.00 U/K Pounds, (roughly 15.00 to 68.00 US bucks) depending on condition and what issue. See : (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I've spent my monthly allowance on books, sad, Cry otherwise I'd have made you an offer.

It's a required book for any single shot enthusiast Glad I have a copy and his Muzzle loading Cap Lock Rifles as well.   

I got myself into trouble for this statement before but.  Read it for enjoyment, he is a very good writer, not as a shooting manual. Roberts reported what he was told not what he knew for himself.

This is the book that started me on all this silly single shot nonsence. I owe a lot of great joy to it.

I think we should promote Ned Roberts to Genaral Ned Roberts. If one wants to shoot old style singleshots like they did in the old days,  just follow his advice.  Some point out his mistakes.  We all make those.  Wink

“Roberts reported what he was told not what he knew for himself”  Did you come to this conclusion through research or did someone tell you that?
