Matchlock, wheel lock, flintlock and caplock; muzzle-loading and breech-loading; revolving and rifling - the history of muskets and rifles is a fascinating journey through the development of firearms technology. From early matchlocks of the 15th century to the latest hunting rifles and assault rifles, Collector's Guides: Rifles & Muskets traces the development of these small arms through their technical revolutions.

Throughout there are technical specifications for featured firearms. Illustrated with more than 260 colour and black-and-white artworks and photographs, Collector's Guides: Rifles & Muskets is an expertly written account of the history of sporting and military firearms.
