interested in buying a copy. Please send your reply to my email

For those of you that do not know Doug Bowser he is one of the plank owners regarding Finnish Rifle collecting. His book is a must for all serious collectors.
The shooting info in the book is worth its weight in gold.

Dear Doug, I already have a copy, but can think of at least two people who need one. There is so much Mosin Milsurp sloshing around out there now I hardly
think you would have any trouble selling a run... Just my opinion. Have to get it distributed in the gun stores if possible. I don't know if the pricing
structure would allow for wholesale sales, but you might consider raising the price so the gun shops can make some margin. (I've been in the motorcycling
business for 30 years, and a distributor for 20, this pricing equation is always a dilemma. Best, Kari

The "Book Guy" at all the Tanner and Crossroads of the West shows in Denver had one copy about 3yrs ago....I have never seen another this whole
time. I'm sure inter-net sales would not be a gamble.

I saw one of these books sell for over $100 on an auction site earlier this spring. I bought mine about 3 years ago and it goes to every gunshow with me.
Starting to look a little ragged so count me in for one.

If you are interested in this book sound off to Doug about it so you can get a copy. When I first started collecting these Finnish gun this book went with me
to the gun shows. I think I'll start a survey here for ole Doug.

I think there are so many new people that have entered the world of collecting Finn Mosin-Nagants since last publishing, a run of books would have
to be a winner. Wonder what the Pub House min run is ?

I would be interested in a copy if the price is in line with the market on collector books.
Since I am not a FINN collector at this time anything like $75 bucks would scare me away, unless it is filled with pictures and details. Cork in MS |

I think they are around the $25-$30 price range. The book has some updated info on the SVT-40 "carbine" also.
