    They are essential to the Colt AR15 collector as there are or were numerous models and variations.

    Nice collection. At some point I'd also like to acquire "The FAL Rifle". Looks like a comprehensive treatment of the subject.

    You owe it to yourself to acquire Full Circle.

    Yikes looks like it went out of print. And of course now I see two more I need.

    Damn things are like crack.

    I have those two. The AR-10 book is amazing.

    Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    I wish the author would sell us a PDF for $50 or something. Unfortunately it appears that he was the founder of collector grade publications and is now dead.

    One of the great things about the digital revolution is I've picked up some rare ones for pennies. But at the same time, I've paid "firearm prices" for a few firearm books.

    Still waiting for somebody to invent the "book scanner" that doesn't require you to destroy the spine to get a decent scan. When that day comes I'll gladly photo dump a bunch of content.

    "The Official History of the Oberndorf Company of Heckler & Koch" written by Manfred Kersten and Walter Schmid might be the most expensive book I have. Prices are now in the insanosphere.
