McPherson On Leverguns: Customizing, Handloading, And Using The Lever-Action Rifle (McPherson on Firearms, Accuracy, Handloading, and Gunsmithing (Black and White Book))

(Deluxe Edition, with 300 full-color photographs) In this compilation, McPherson covers every aspect of using, modifying, and loading ammunition for lever-action rifles, to get the most out of these guns. He chronicles his custom modifications of the Marlin 1894 and 336-based guns, building everything from a 17-caliber, quarter-MOA varmint rifle to the mighty 510 Kodiak express, which generates 5000 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. He specialized in lightweight carbines, known by friends and customers as, "Peggy rifles."These collected works span three decades of gunsmithing and documenting his perfection of the Marlin lever-action rifle.
