Hey guys,

I just finished reading a very, very good book titled, “The Guns of John Moses Browning”, authored by Nathan Gorenstein.  The book was published this year and is a must read for firearm enthusiast.  It’s an excellent and enjoyable read.  The author does an extremely good job portraying details of the life of John Browning and all the firearms he gets credit for inventing including the problems he overcame during the designs.  Without boring the reader with nitty-gritty details it touches on the majority of his 128 firearm patents used for plinking, hunting and the various designs used in all the wars and conflicts since WW1 and how the firearms are typically used.  As you well know, many are currently in production around the world.

I also just finished the book. The main reason I bought the book was to get another perspective from the other I read, published By Browning Arms Co. many years ago. This book was formulated differently, and well done. Well worth the read in my opinion also.

CThanks for the heads-up.  Looks like I’ve gotta make space on a shelf and hunt up a copy for myself. Since Wayne liked it, I assume there is a good treatment of the Single Shot (aka “High Wall”) that I will enjoy as well, right?

PS  Amazing!  I just went on Abe Books, and several vendors had it. I’m getting a new copy and it’s still less than $25 delivered.  Sounds like a bargain to me.  Smiley
