I ran accross this on another board. It is something every rifleman should read. Someone borrowed my copy 25 years ago and never returned it.
When you download this it is a PDF but when you save it you need to add the PDF extention.

Great download. Lots of theory and history, and quite readable as well. Thanks!
It looks great. It is a big download.
Thanks,

at events we often ask for examples of Riflemen past present and fictional .
Will be nice when folks recognise General Julian Hacher as a Rifleman ,so far no one has mentioned him . This weekend i will change that ,unless someone beats me to it ;D

Your giving more idea's on who can be named as American Rifleman . Whelen did his own cartridge as I recall . a 35 :D?
You must be one of the TC Contender guys! ;D
He did a lot of books. Now if I can just get them to download on the tablet with the PICTURES!!!!! I have red X where most of the pics should be. I hate learning new gizmos. It is an Android tablet if anyone can give me some pointers.
