The Orvis Guide to Shotgun Care & Maintenance is the first handbook written expressly for the shotgun enthusiast on the much-overlooked subject of maintaining and caring for your gun. Chapters include, "Handling & Caring for Firearms Safely," "Bore Obstructions," "Working With Solvents & Lubricants," "Your Gun Storage," "Gun Screw" and much more. Lavishly illustrated, The Orvis Guide to Shotgun Care & Maintenance provides the most precise and complete information found anywhere on how to correctly, effectively, and safely care for a shotgun. Written by professional gunsmith and master stockmaker Tom Morrow, who has practiced his trade for 30 years. Morrow was the last apprentice hired by Griffen & Howe when it was the gun division of the celebrated New York sporting good store Abercrombie & Fitch, outfitter to Ernest Hemingway, Teddy Roosevelt, Gary Cooper and countless other hunting and fishing enthusiasts. He brings Old World hints and techniques that are seldom seen anywhere in print to this valuable guide. Indispensable in the gun room and for armchair reading for anyone who shoots a gun.
