    Description

    SINGLE SHOT LEVER ACTION
    A HOME BUILT RIFLE
    by Glen Davis
    ****
    Building an old-time rifle may seem daunting, but armed with this book, you'll learn all the skills necessary to accomplish this rewarding task.
    Follow along as Glen Davis builds a single-shot lever action rifle from scratch, using mostly recycled materials. This book includes a detailed build description of an original rifle, photographs of the actual build process, and scalable drawings. Written in the author's own words are detailed discussions about the purpose and use of features included in this rifle design, including trigger pull, safety mechanisms, the rotating block action, wood stock customization, metal bluing, and wood finish. The entire build uses no complicated tools and could be reproduced in the average home shop.
    About the author: Glen Davis builds firearms as a hobby. He spends quite a bit of time repairing and restoring antique firearms. Aside from firearms, Glen has built canoes, kayaks, guitars, knives, and tools.
