Prior to this, changes had been pedestrian; the muzzleloader still prevailed in 1850 as it had for previous centuries.\u003cbr\u003eIn this major work, Dallas details the many changes that occurred in the latter half of the nineteenth century. He describes at length the pinfire, centre-fire, and hammerless developments along with all the ancillary changes made to sporting guns. He also outlines the many developments in rifles: the superseding of the two groove muzzle-loading Express rifle by the multi-groove, breech-loading rifle of smaller calibre with higher velocity and greater power, propelled by nitro powder and with many different mechanisms on offer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Dallas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811704424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811704427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stackpole Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.40w x 1.30d\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Donald Dallas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448978026751,"sku":"9780811704427","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a7aeac5-17a8-45e1-b72c-569ed39d9188.jpg?v=1777261421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/british-sporting-gun-and-rifle-donald-dallas-9780811704427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
