1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't tell you how to make ammo., February 10, 2002

By A Customer

It tells you how to make improvized gunpowder (like you didn't already know), but no instructions on how to make brass cases, without which, there is nothing to reload or cache and there is no point owning anything other than musket...I bet the gun/ammo grabbers are quaking in their boots !

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical Duncan Long Trash, April 14, 2004

By	"indeamer" (Iowa) - See all my reviews

Yet again we are confronted with a book that is Long on BS and short of useful info, much like every other Duncan Long book. The book is worthless for anything except starting a fire and is typical of the trash put out by Duncan Long.

My husband thought this was really neat. It's not really what I was looking for, but I would buy it again.
