I was a long time member of the NSSA before I retired after relocating to western Colorado. I have a number of items which I acquired during my years of competition that I am listing for sale on the Bulletin Board, with the permission of the Board Master. The following first list I am posting will contain books specific to Civil War guns or the shooting of same. Each book is listed with a price that includes free shipping by USPS Media Mail to the purchaser?s location anywhere in the continental United States. I accept either Zelle (no fee charged to buyer or seller), money orders, or a personal check when cleared. No Pay Pal or credit cards. If you see something that interests you, contact me at WestColJim@gmail.com.

Original private printing of the Muzzle Loading Cap Lock Rifle by Ned H. Roberts. The first of these private printings occurred in 1940.

Different gun variations, accessories ammunition loads, and shooting techniques are discussed in detail. Illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and schematics. The first volume is hardbound, consisting of 530 total pages. The supplement is also hardbound and consists of an additional 92 pages. Both volumes are in VG or near Ex condition for age. . The exterior main volume is fully intact, but there is some fading of the gilt lettering on the spine and face, and some minor wear marks present. The exterior of the supplement is minty. Price: $160
