imusti Gun Digest 2014

I ordered this second hand refurbished book on 5 Feb 2023 at price of ₹336.I received the product early in corrugated box.When I opened the box, the condition of book is poor.The book cover page is torn from top. From sides wear and tear is easily visible.Inside also pages looked like old, recycling papers.Then I saw the contents of the book, I finally made up my mind to return it.I expected lots of guns information in this gun digest, instead I saw half of the book with long paragraphs. Only later section of book has guns information mentioned in precise form. I thought this book to be catalogue type with brief details, instead it's divided into 2 different sections.Overall, I am not happy with this book in any way, So, I returned it.If you are looking for catalogue format guns encyclopedia, then this book will not attract you much.I rate it 3/5.

My fellow brothers-in-arms, Don't-Tread-on-Me'ers, and gun nuts:I couldn't find some information on this item as I'm buying it early as a stocking stuffer so wanted to share as much information as possible for would be buyers for yourself or the firearms person in your life.For the uninitiated, there are several print products available especially in the magazine rack of your grocery store. Gun Digest essentially replicates all those monthly editions into one large repository of articles and makes for a handy reference manual of sorts for catalog listings and prices.About 2/3rds of the entire book is in color print, but not gloss pages so that's the only ding against it. About 3/4 of the publication is all articles as my greatest fear was feeling like I bought a catalog instead of buying a book for entertainment reasons. That being said, the remainder of the book are specs on different manufacturers weapons, MSRP values, etc. However, what they've also done is listed a large rubric of ammo as well which is pretty useful.Small gripes: very geared toward American-centric gun owners. 1911s, war-era collectibles, deer/elk hunters, a couple of sporting and modern rifle articles, etc. Despite that, the articles are fantastic and will augment your practice if not your decision making of firearms. If you're into tactical gear, modern weapons, foreign weapons (I love my AK!), this will hit a few topic areas but may not really sate your appetite. I'm hoping they put out the compendium of popular foreign weapons (FAL, AK, CZ) into something similar for my book collection.Very happy it turned out the way I thought it would be and will make a great Christmas present for my buddy...who can't finish reading a book to save his life, so a compendium of gun articles will be perfect.May your sites be true and your ammo always feed.

This year's version contains some great articles and lots of useful information. I particularly liked the article on the Winchester model 70 and the one on F-Class shooting.

Very good quality

I collect these books and have the whole series from day one. I find a lot of interesting articles in them
