I picked up Mr. Hougton's prior book "British Sniper a Century of Evolution" a year ago. It is fantastic reference material into British Sniper Rifles, their uses, doctrine, accessories and development up to the current Accuracy International Rifles. I got an email from him today on what looks to be a companion book with a closer look into the L96A1 history and Accuracy International as a whole. For any AI fan, this is one for your collection.

It gets worse...I just ordered this and shipping was 39 pounds...still, about $125 delivered which is what you pay for limited edition private printings.

I’m an AI fan but not that big of a fan to spend that on a book.

I’d love to have one of those rifles
Too bad the British destroyed most of them

The previous book was incredibly detailed and well written. They’re worth the money if you want all the technical details.

And of course Ian has his review up! Ordered mine, hopefully will be in by next week or so.

I’ve got my copy, about half way through now and it’s definitely worth the money. If you liked the last book, I’d say this is a better read.

I finally sourced a copy of the last book but waiting for a price... Being so impossible to get, I am worried the last one won't be worth the upcharge. Might just buy it, read it, sell it.

The Green Meanie will likely stay in my collection for a long long time.
