THE BOY'S BOOK OF RIFLES

By

Publisher: Coward, McCann

From the early teens on up, owners and would-be owners of .22 rifles will find plenty of interest in this straightforward, untechnical account of the care and feeding of light firearms. Beginning with a brief history of guns and gunpowder, the book goes on to a description of gun parts and their functions, safety rules, ways of achieving good marksmanship, how to organize a junior rifle club, and other aspects of the subject that will hold the interest of most teen-agers.
