Not exactly Winchester per se, but this was such a great book, thought I’d just return to share.  

BOLT ACTION RIFLES THIRD EDITION – FREE

by Frank de Haas

This is one of multiple listings of this I’m doing across a variety of Forums.  This has been a free online reference some time & I last reported Fall 2019. Now downloadable. Website below.  Note: There is a Fourth Edition by Wayne Zwoll but not available.   Check out bottom of page for a few additional miscellaneous publications available.

 

The ever ‘think twice’ caution.  Downloads are always some hazard.  This one is working fine for me.  However… Download at your own risk.

 

Best, Happy New Year, Keep Safe!

John

Hint:  Within above Website scroll down to “Downloads” on a right side box & select your preference.  I used simply “PDF” and it worked.  Some Internet Browsers may not work or require tweaking.   Google Chrome worked for me.

This book–like everything written by De Haas–is outstanding!  He provides a mechanical engineer’s explanation of how everything “works”–how the bolt locks up, the cams, extractor, & ejector do their jobs, the weak & strong points of every action.  Nothing else like it I’ve seen.

But how I wish he had included the Model 52!
