I want to learn more about double rifles, particularly the old British makers.

Can anyone point me to any web sites where I can find some good information? I am looking for things like history, definitions of terms related to doubles, photos, etc.

thanks,

Hi Shiflan,
Look into Safri Press or The Gun Room Books. They will carry books with all the information your looking for. I think Safari Press has a website. I'm guessing www.safaripress.com. 470 Mbogo

Shiflan,

Here are a couple of sites that have very extensive glossaries, with photos, on the subject of double rifles...

Your best source of information is Shooting the British Double Rifle, volumes 1 an 2 by Graeme Wright....Huntingtons carries both volumes...Also Safari Rifles by Boddington is a good source for calibers and use.

Thanks for the info guys, especially the Vol. II bit from Ray. I guess I just have Volume I. Didn't know there was a volume II from Graeme Wright.
