Hi guys,
I'm interested in understanding the process of building and regulating a double rifle. This is just for the sake of knowledge, I'd love to build one, but I can't even make a good paper airplane...

So, is there one book I should look for? Or is there anybody who wants to teach a newbie some basic info about it?

Thanks for your help,
Mark.

Take a look at the 450NE thread from a couple of days ago - it might be on page 2 or 3 by now - on the AR Big Bores forum. Also see NitroExpress.com and do a search.

Look for Graham Wright's book "Shooting the British Double Rifle". Good reading...

The WRIGHT book is a good one, but will tell you more about loading, and shooting double rifles than building them. Still it is a must for anyone wanting to own a double rifle.

Two books that will give you what you want are: Building Double Rifles on Shotgun actions By W. Ellis Brown, and The Hammerless Double Rifle By Alexander Grey. These two books delve into the building, and regulateing of double rifles, both new, and conversions! They sell for about $50 each.

If anyone has a copy of Grey's book I'll gladly pay you $50 for it. I haven't been able to find a copy in months of looking.

Thanks, guys.
Wright's book was the one I was trying to remember, but I'll check the others too if I can find them...
