Mine arrived Thursday and is already showing signs of wear... From me!
Why aren't you going to do a second run?
I'm glad I got my copy. Some really great information in there that I've not seen published elsewhere. Some editing mistakes (starting with Vic's introduction) but that's to be expected with an independently published book. If there are only 10 left I would jump on it guys.
To get the same price, I need to print at least 500 more copies. I don't think that they will sell very fast.
Also, main problem is that I did not realized how much difficulties will bring processing of the orders. I did everything myself, with small help of my wife.
This take so many time... I will not did the same mistake again, I have another matters, and another projects on which I can spent my time. So if I will print second run (smaller quantity with higher price) and will pay to somebody for order processing, price will be not so attractive.
I think in less than 2 years will be prined new, extended edition
Currently all are on hold

So far one exceptionally interesting detail is that the 'Tula' M38 Carbines are actually Izhevsk manufactured carbines from left over Tula receivers and parts that were shipped to Izhevsk at the beginning of WWII (at least beginning of WWII for the Russians).
Yeah that was intriguing, as well as all the receivers in the basement! One neat part that I would like to know more about is his mention of M91/30's produced at Mednogorsk during a few months. I would like to know more about those, and if they bear special markings, or if they were even made.
Actually, little different - they were produced in 1940 at the base of Tula barrels that were supplied after Tula stopped production at Summer. Reread the paragraph
I'm surprised that nobody noted this earlier, it's so obvious - serial numberis stamped with Izhevsk font, they have 2 letter in circle Izhevsk acceptance marking, receivers are Izhvesk produced

1940. They were assembled in Izhevesk with use of Tula barrels. But those barrels (that were finally machined and marked in Tula) were made from Izhevsk blanks (forgings).
In 1944 barrels and receiver blanks were supplied to Tula also from Izhevsk, and many recyled receivers, that were supplied by GAU, were used.
