CD-ROM – 1911/1911A1/Government Models by Karl Karash (2005). This CD shows a remarkable collection of 1911s and 1911A1s, some Government Models, and Argentine Colts, and a few revolvers as well. The CD includes over 5000 high resolution photos of over 150 original pistols. Each pistol is shown in full right and left views, and most are accompanied by a file of close up detail photos showing details of the various components, markings, and overall finish. The photos are extremely sharp and clear. Brief text accompanies each full side view.

The series begins with 1911 serial number 43, from the first day of production, to serial numbers in the two millions, the end of World War II production. Also included are some National Match and commercial Colt Government Models. M1911A1 Remington Rand, Union Switch and Signal, and Ithaca are covered as are North American 1911s and M1911A1 Singers. Photos of a variety of accessories including holsters, web gear, and other accoutrements are included. A folder, labeled "parts" contains extreme close ups of details, including early parts, early markings, British proofs, and remarkable color renditions of fire blued triggers, hammers, slide stops and safety locks.

Navigating through the photos is fairly easy using Windows Explorer. Once a file is clicked on, one can view a slide show of the contents. However, it is necessary to use the back button to get to another file.

The bulk of the disc's contents are digital photos, but it also contains a folder of "articles." In this folder are a number of text files that are opened with Microsoft Word Pad. Contained are articles mainly from informal communications and on-line discussion forums. Also included is an Excel spreadsheet listing known serial numbers of NRA marked 1911's.

This CD is not substitute for Clawson's "Collector's Guide", it is a supplement to that work. It is most helpful for the collector seeking to authenticate a M1911 or M1911A1, the number of color photos and details on this disc would be impossible to duplicate in a book. No serious M1911/1911A1 pistol collector should be without this CD or without Clawson’s book. They go hand in hand as study aids. - $20 + shipping

NEW! The .58- and .50-Caliber Rifles and Carbines of the Springfield Armory, 1865-1872 by Richard A. Hosmer. To date, there has been no single research source for information about the post-Civil War small arms that led to the selection of the .45-70 Springfield rifle and carbine. Yet these rifles and carbines bore the brunt of fighting in the early part of the Indian Wars. This is a concise and comprehensive text on each of the eighteen rifles and carbines that were developed at the Springfield National Armory during this seven year period and field-tested by the U.S. Army during years. They were all variations of the Allin “trapdoor,” Remington, Sharps, Spencer, and Ward-Burton breech loading systems. Mr. Hosmer’s book provides a detailed description of each rifle and carbine, including markings, finishes, dimensions of all pertinent parts, and a history of each arm’s development. Each firearm is summarized in a separate table. Additional tables list all finishes and markings. Separate chapters describe the bayonets issued with each arm as well as their accoutrements and tools. The book is heavily illustrated with photos of the firearms and their parts. The book is laminated soft cover, 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, 275 pages. - $19.95 Free Shipping!

NEW! The .45-70 Springfield by Joe Poyer and Craig Riesch, 4th revised and expanded edition. The authors have continued to gather new information relating to the "trap door" rifles and carbines. The result is this new 4th edition. Using the "part-by-part" analysis of the rifles and carbines changes to all parts are described in photos and drawings. Dimensions and finishes are listed for each part in both the text and tables. For instance, seventeen different rear sights were used on the .45-70 Springfield trapdoor rifle and carbine. Each sight is carefully photographed and the differences noted. Then each rear sight is matched to the specific serial number range in which it was used. The same technique was used on lock plates, barrel bands, trigger assemblies, stocks, ramrods, etc. The chapters on accoutrements and tools have been greatly expanded with descriptions and photos. Separate appendixes provide production totals, an exploded view, disassembly and cleaning, how to determine if a .45-70 has been refinished or a carbine made from a rifle, a chart of finishes by part, and special sections on the Cadet rifles, starred receivers, and the rod bayonet rifle. The book is laminated soft cover, 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, 274 pages. - $19.95 Free Shipping!

Black Rifle II by Christopher R. Bartocci. This newly published volume is a sequel to The Black Rifle – M16 Retrospective which was first published in 1987. Much has happened to the M16/AR-15 since that book was published. This new volume brings the serious student of US Martial Arms up to date with all that has happened with the M16 since then. The book begins with a detailed study of the development, trials, and adoption of the M16A2 rifle. Also covered in detail are the M4 and M4A1 Carbines. Chapters are devoted to the Colt 9mm SMG, M16A3, M16A4, HKM4, rebirth of the AR-10, and Canadian contributions. A full chapter is devoted to the Colt AR-15 semi-automatic family of rifles and carbines. A Colt Model Reference Guide and Component Guide are included. My favorite chapters deal with the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) CQB (Close Quarters Battle) Carbines and the SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) Sniper Rifles now assigned the nomenclature Mk 12 Mod 0 and Mk 12 Mod 1. These are the sniper rifles used so successfully by Special Operations troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. When the history of these wars is written, this rifle will rewrite the book on sniping. This is the only source for information on this most interesting sniper rifle. Volume I, The Black Rifle remains available and is the beginning of the M16 story, Black Rifle II is the continuation of the story of the military rifle that has been the standard issue rifle for a longer period of time than any other long arm in history. If you are a serious student of US Martial Arms, a fan of the AR-15, or interested in what small arms our troops are currently using you must have this book. The author did a wonderful job with this work. Hard cover, 9” x 11-1/2”, 408 pages, 626 illustrations. - $69.95 Free Shipping!

The Springfield 1903 Rifles by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy. THE encyclopedia of M1903 collectors. Everything you want to know about the '03 is in here! However, the size and amount of information presented can be a little intimidating to the beginning student. I have heard complaints of difficulty in finding specifics. Use of the index and a little perseverance will allow the collector to find that for which he is looking. The section on accessories and appendages is superb. The more common versions are thoroughly discussed, but a lot of space is devoted to variations most of us will never see. However, I think it is nice-to-know information as you never know what you are going to bump into. Knowing what you are looking at is half the battle of collecting! - $75 Free Shipping!

Hatcher's Notebook by Julian S. Hatcher. 3rd edition with new foreword. While not entirely devoted to the M1903 it does contain some interesting information that can be found nowhere else. It has been a classic work for 50 years, and will be considered as such for many more years to come. General Hatacher's years in the Ordnance Corps spanned times of great development and change. His personal observations are unique and invaluable. Definitely worth having on your book shelf. - $39.95 Free Shipping!
