Without modern black powder reproductions and replicas, many of our favorite television shows and movies would have been almost impossible to make, and certainly would have lost much of their realism. Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Ed Harris and other prominent movie stars may not have had the chance to direct and star in these blockbusters, which relied on authentic reproductions to accurately portray our history. This newest 6th edition Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Arms by John B. Allen is the only publication to cover almost all the major makes and models of black powder arms produced since 1959. Also included are today's high tech modern muzzleloaders described in detail, and are directly responsible for the resurgence in both black powder shooting and hunting. With detailed information, hundreds of images, and up-to-date values, including the newest black powder makes/models, this book is a must for shooters, hunters, reenactors, history buffs, and collectors.
