SB144 Weapon Mounts For Secondary Armament - Prepared for Detroit Arsenal, Ordnance Corps, U.S. Army, April 1957. The latest "gotta have" book just off the press.

1157 pages of wonderful, arcane, and useful knowledge about weapon mounts, both experimental and in use. Much of this information can be found nowhere else.

Weapon Mounts For Secondary Armament has long been the most respected and sought after work ever published on weapon mounts. Published in 1957 as a reference for those interested in developing new and more effective secondary armament, its publishing history is still something of a mystery. The number of volumes originally published is not known, though it is generally believed that as few as 25 copies were printed. Whatever the number, it must have been very small because today an original copy is so rare it can sell for well over $1000 View Photo
