Hello All,

I have an extra copy of this book that I will give to anyone that can use it. I only ask that you pay exact cost of shipping, (via PP or Venmo) which will be discounted through my office, so it should just be a few bucks. I have a padded mailer that I'll send it in.

Thx,

RH

Luckily it's going to a Whelen owner.
I just saw the post and was willing to pay the postage in it to Australia.
But usual story to late, AGAIN.
When my ship comes in I'm usually waiting at the train station or airport.

That was a very generous gift and its a VERY useful book for gunsmiths. One cautionary tale to please remember, COTW is wrought with errors so it is a tool, but not a definitive guide for dimensions of cartridges. Its primary use for me is for me to identify a potential caliber to assign to chamber-casts from European arms. Even if I find a dead ringer for the measurements in my hand in COTW, I ALWAYS do a lot of deep internet research on that caliber to ensure there weren't look-alikes or different pressure variants.

In short, its a lousy book, yet its the very best book of its kind ever written. Better to tolerate errors than to have nothing at all to go on.
