Guncraft is the name of a popular column written by Vic Venters for Shooting Sportsman magazine. In each issue it examines today's artisanally made guns and aspects of fine gunmaking, with occasional glances back to fine guns and relevant technical issues from the past. This book is based upon those columns, with each chapter exploring a separate topic. these topics, however, have been deliberately chosen to provide readers with a unified insight into the complicated task of making hand-made guns in both Europe and the United States.
