Each of the new chapters contains a complete description of how each differs from the standard . 45 70 Springfield Rifle and Carbine. New information, never before published and full color illustrations of the various models have been included. Every part and every change to that

Three new chapters have been added to this new 5th Edition: The Officer's Model Rifle, .45 Caliber; The Model 1886 "Experimental" Carbine, and The Model 1906 Fencing Musket. Each of the new chapters contains a complete description of how each differs from the standard .45-70 Springfield Rifle and Carbine. New information, never before published and full color illustrations of the various models have been included.

Every part and every change to that part of the .45-70 Springfield Rifle and Carbine made by the U.S. Army's Ordnance Department is described in photos and drawings. Dimensions and finishes are listed for each part in both the text and tables. For instance, seventeen different rear sights were used on the .45-70 Springfield trapdoor rifle and carbine. Each sight is carefully photographed and the differences noted. Then each rear sight is matched to the specific serial number range in which it was used. The same technique was used on lock plates, barrel bands, trigger assemblies, stocks, ramrods, etc., covering every part of the rifle and carbine.

The chapters on accoutrements and tools have been greatly expanded with descriptions and photos to cover all issued to the soldier. Bayonets, scabbards and frogs are described and matched to years and serial number ranges of issue. The authors also show how it is possible to determine if a .45-70 bayonet was newly-manufactured, or was a Civil War-period bayonet that had been swaged to fit the new rifle. Hunting and intrenching knives, bayonets, carbine slings, front sight covers, ammunition belts and cartridges boxes, etc. receive the same treatment.

All markings and inspection markings are explained and illustrated with photos. A new serial number listing has been developed which takes into account the 22,500 "starred" carbines and integrates them into overall production so that serial numbers and cartouche dates can at long last be matched correctly.

Separate appendixes provide production totals, an exploded view, disassembly and cleaning, how to determine if a .45-70 has been refinished or a carbine made from a rifle, a chart of finishes by part, and special sections on the Cadet rifles, starred receivers (where they came from and why), the rod bayonet rifle, and the commercial trapdoors.

Looks fascinating but poorly wrapped
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This was supposed to be a Christmas gift. You would think with a book of this weight that it would have been wrapped in a thin bubble wrap to keep the dust jacket from ripping, right? Because that is what any serious book seller would have done if it had been shipped by them. But, as you can see, from the other reviews, Amazon did not do that. Keep that in mind while enjoying the low price, and consider that you might have to return it and hope for a better wrap job the second time if it’s going to be a gift. As far as content, though, it looks fascinating!!!!! The pictures, especially of the art of the period, are gorgeous. Maps and tables are super helpful. It may not be as in depth as others would prefer on each subject. However, it is a great one-stop starting point for someone who is just getting their toes wet. I have been a Bible reader/student for over twenty years, and I found something informative on each page. So unless you have a PhD in Biblical studies, I think you would find this a useful purchase and a foundational book for your library.

An amazing reward at the end of the book
Format: Kindle
This is a magnificent nudge to value and form a christian word view based on the story of Gods work in the world. There is a thread that runs through the surveys of each book - all of history, past, present and future, has been compressed into Jesus, and the life that has burst from Him through his resurrection gives meaning to all things, in all places across all of time. The authors help us see this meaning in scripture and then diffuse that meaning through our lives. The final chapters offer a tremendous picture of what it looks like to live for God in Gods world - it was deeply inspiring!

Love the new flavor
Size: 1.45 Pound (Pack of 1)
I have been taking Metamucil for years but was interested in something besides the original orange. For some reason the lemon flavored option didn't seem to be as effective. This is the perfect alternative. Love the taste. I have not seen this one in stores yet. Will purchase more.
