Title is W. (Bill) Hambly-Clark Jr. "Centrefire Rifle Accuracy".
I believe Duane Wiebe recommended this book some months ago but it was sold out. Bill just said he is currently working on updates on a third edition if anyone is interested.

Bill's book "Centrefire Rifle Accuracy" is such a wealth of information it should be a standard text book for all gun smithing schools. At 535 pages there is nothing about building a rifle and rifle smithing that isn't covered in this book.

This is a just sample of some pages from the book showing the detailed technical information and expertise Bill is sharing with the reader.

I can't recommend this book highly enough, anyone who buys it will not be disappointed. It was produced entirely at Bill's cost and he is not making a profit from the sales. The book was written simply because Bill wanted to pass on his life's knowledge and experience of gun smithing.

A third edition will be printed if Bill receives enough pre orders, you can place your order via email at blackduckpublishing@bigpond.com.

It is a great book and I wish I had just a smidgen of his hard won talent.

I have the first edition, I believe the second edition had more photos?

Cheers, Chris

Sent an email about a purchase.

blackduckpublishing@bigpond.com took me to a scam sight in Australia with nothing to do with publishing.

Well,
Bill and I exchanged several emails yesterday. We have several friends in common. I used this email address. blackduckpublishing@bigpond.com
I think the problem you had was you were treating it as a website, which it isn't. Send an email.

OK, my dumbass is showing

Update: Looks to be a larger run this time around. Might even be a little cheaper.

Books are in. Drop Bill a line if interested. mkass2@bigpond.com

Bill has shipped mine.

Ordered mine last night, look forward to reading it.

Thanks for the info I will email him as I start a gunsmith school this fall and I am sure I can use the knowledge in the book.

G'Day Fella's,

I'm really pleased to hear that Bill is having another run of his book done!

FYI, it is not only a fantastic book, full of great advice but it is also a real tribute to Bill's incredible physical Talents, Skills and Abilities (read; Masterful), and Bills modesty!

Anybody contemplating getting into Gunsmithing, or just wanting to be on the same page as any great Gunsmith working on their Pride & Joy, could do with a copy of this book!
Further to this and the reason I say this is, I mentioned this to Bill at one stage during the editing of his book, that it would be an real asset to anybody that has Gunsmithing work done for them. As you can ask "The Gunsmith" about how he/she does this or that, and if they give you an alternative response, you can state "That's not how Clarkie does it (Quote; W.H-C Jrn)!

Hope this helps

To the rest of you blokes reading this, do yourself a favor and buy a piece of Shooting History, you won't regret it!

Doh!

Well,
I'm still patiently waiting on mine.

Received my copy this week. It's a great book!! Very practical, excellent detail!

I'd be interested in knowing the cost

It's on it's way....

Picked up my copy today.

G'Day Fella's,

I'm pretty sure you will not complain and it will be worth the wait, once you receive it!

Doh!

got a copy of the book the other day. it was so well packed that other than a fire or an explosion I don't think the book could be damaged in shipment. the legal situation in OZ must even be worse than here in the states. the disclaimer at the beginning of the book, though a sad commentary, it is hilarious. it will take a while to get through this one.

Mine came in today. Man you are right about the packing! Can't wait to get into it!

Got mine today...I could only laugh as I peeled the layers back of packaging.(Good grief...). Looks like a great book, be some late nights up with this one! Thanks to all for the heads up on this one.

Received my copy yesterday. The disclaimer was excellent. "Bomb me a hole" ????? go to the back of the book, appendix 2 and the phrase will be explained. Nothing I would ever care to do.
An excellent book.

I received a copy last week. I've collected any kind of gunsmith book for as long as I can remember, and this one is certainly one of the best all-around books specifically geared towards precision smithing. A really great read.

Mine must be on a boat somewhere in the pacific.

I did the insured air freight and it took about 2 weeks or a little less.

Mine shipped the 5th and I received it on the 22nd I believe. For some reason mine went to Chicago and was there about 11 days. Our USPS at work. A very slow airplane. Book is absolutely great.
