More About the Author
Duncan Long (http://DuncanLong.com/) is a freelance writer/illustrator who has authored 13 novels including Anti-Grav Unlimited (Avon Books), the Spider Worlds triology (HarperCollins), and the Night Stalkers series (Harper Collins). He's also written 60-some technical books and how-to manuals (with Paladin Press, Delta Press, Lyons Press/Globe Pequot, and others). Additionally, he's ghostwritten over a dozen titles for TV, radio, and stage celebrities.
Some of Long's technical manuals can be found in the private libraries of the CIA, US Marines, FEMA, the FBI's FTU (Firearms Training Unit), and other US agencies. Excerpts from his books and technical drawings have even appeared in US Congressional hearings.
As an illustrator Long has created cover and interior illustrations for HarperCollins, PS Publishing (UK), Byron Preiss/ibooks, Pocket Books, Fort Ross, American Media, Delirium Books, Ballistic Media, Mermaid Books, Swimming Kangaroo Books, and others. His artwork also appears in national magazines (including the Sun and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine), and at Web sites and on CD covers.
Long's illustrations are noted for their often whimsical, dreamlike quality. Talk-show host Victor Thorn named Long one of the three "best graphic artists in the entire world." And the reviewer at 3D Millennium (M3 Corp., Inc.) wrote about Long's collected works, "To call him a prolific artist would be understatement, at best. Get yourself a snack and settle back while Duncan takes you on a wild ride through worlds only he has dreamt of."

This review is from: Sturm, Ruger 10/22 Rifle and .44 Magnum Carbine (Paperback)
If u want complete info on the Ruger 10/22 and the .44 mag Carbine this book comes up way short. The info it provides is stilted, out dated and sometimes totally inaccurate. The book u want is The Ruger 10/22 by William Workman. It contains much more complete up to date and accurate info (as well as MUCH better pictures)

Not a bad book but lacking much info on the 44 Carbines. I have gleaned more info and pics from the Ruger advertising brochures I have here at home !!! :-(Book could have included more photos of the various models of both 10/22 and 44 carbine.

Good information,
This review is from: Sturm, Ruger 10/22 Rifle and .44 Magnum Carbine (Paperback)
Sturm, Ruger 10/22 Rifle and .44 Magnum Carbine by Duncan Long is an excellent reference book for these 2 Ruger designs of which the 10/22 has become one of the most popular .22 rifles ever produced. All topics addressed in the book are of value, however, I only wish there had been more information on the .44 Magnum. A summary of the specific years produced and production numbers would be of value. More history is always helpful. But, overall it is a nice resource for these 2 significant Ruger rifles.
