I’ve had the 4th edition ever since new but it’s quite worn now.
Half a dozen years ago I ran across a first edition in like new condition, naturally it came home with me.

I remember having that cover maybe it was used on a newer version.

I have 7, 10 & 12. There was a few annuals of gun rags I looked for ward to every year.

I think I have the Handloader and Rifle through about 2000, I will have to go check they are in bankers boxes under my gun cleaning bench.
But I have the bound volume of the early years of Hanbloader 2 years to a volume. The first 4 go from the first magazine May-June 1966 through December 73 then I’m missing volume 9-10, but have volume 11-12. I thought this was just an excellent way to store these magazines as they were excellent reference books in this form. Just never ran across anymore bound additions. I believe I have most of the magazines through 2000.
Didn’t bother with them anymore after they started with a newer crew.

I bought some of those binders twenty years ago for my shooting times. I found a small add in back of the mag they was selling them off CHEAP!! I bought about twenty. Wish I had more today! They are fine way to store magazines you want to reference and keep!

I still kick myself for getting rid of hundreds of gun mags back in the mid 80's. Should have saved them just for Skeeters, Elmers, Bills, etc articles. And that's to say nothing of the old catalogs! I remember when Gander Mtns catalog was basically on newspaper and wasn't more than 6 pages!!! And the prices! No one would believe the prices! Of course, they weren't working for $2.15 and hr either!

Some pretty cool old books shown here. I enjoy reading the older stuff, but I also like the new provided the tone is correct. I subscribe to Handloader magazine and find it useful. And I occasionally pick up newer GunDigests.

You should see my collection! Looks like time stopped about 1975!!! I've gone so far as seeking out the last editions of various book. Lotta knowledge there!

Now that looks nice Ric’. Got about 6 shelves 3 foot, 3 shelves are in gun up in the shop and 3 are in the pantry. I’ve got enough here and there to fill probably 2 more shelves but being the organized person I am they will probably never all be in the same room.
Are you certain you don’t need me to come by and sort thru and help you find something I might need?
