Now retired, during his career he built dozens of custom Marlin lever-action rifles including everything from a 17-caliber varmint rifle (based upon the 1894 Marlin), which launches 20-grain bullets at 4500 fps with quarter-MOA accuracy; to the mighty 510 Kodiak Express (based upon the modern 1895 Marlin), which generates more than 5000 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe specialized in lightweight carbines, known by friends and customers alike as, \u003ci\u003ePeggy Rifles\u003c\/i\u003e, in honor of his late wife and the custom lightweight super-carbine he built for her. These collected works cover many of the custom rifles he built in more than three decades of gunsmithing, documenting his perfection of the Marlin lever-action rifle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book covers some of his more complicated modifications, with sections explaining how to build a 41\/2-pound Marlin, altering these guns to handle both standard-length loads and significantly longer loads, strengthening the action and buttstock, and improving accuracy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor completeness, he includes articles on: a custom 35 Whelen Ackley-Improved, Remington Pump; a custom 221 Fireball, 788 Remington; and, a photographic journal of the rifle he and a friend built to launch bullets faster than one-mile per second, with useful varminting accuracy, limited barrel heating, and long barrel life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded is his dissertation on personal freedom and understanding why it now exists in some places, if tenuously.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 378\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42741741781055,"sku":"9781717996657","price":56.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ee1455e174d60df92daf86cddefab66c.webp?v=1765161632","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/mcpherson-on-leverguns-customizing-handloading-and-using-the-lever-action-rifle-black-and-white-edition-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
