In Gun Craft, noted fine gun authority Vic Venters draws on extensive research and in-depth interviews with the individual artisans behind the art of traditional gunmaking. He examines many of today’s best artisanally made guns and provides insights into the craft of making them in Britain, Europe and the United States. His intent is to make the sometimes arcane techniques and technical information accessible and relevant.

The early 21st century marks a transitional period in artisanal gunmaking. New computer-controlled manufacturing technology is supplanting the traditional craft skills once required to make fine shotguns and rifles. Today's generation of craftsmen - the last to be trained via traditional methods - is coupling hand skills with evolving manufacturing technology to produce some of the finsest shotguns ever made. The author knows well the time-honoured methods and many of the craftsmen who still employ them - and he wants to preserve that knowledge for generations to come.

Gun Craft is beautifully illustrated throughout and required reading for anyone who appreciates fine shotguns and the effort and skill that go into making them.
