Delivery: We print to order every two or three days and that way we can offer the entire 5500+ inventory at a reasonable price. Each item is printed, collated, bound, packaged and shipped as soon as we can but it takes a little time so please be patient.

Quality: Our mission is to preserve old firearms catalogs at a reasonable price before they are all gone, but our reprints are NOT forgeries of originals, they are exact copies of the originals but not necessarily the exact size or on the original paper or with the original binding.

This stinks! During the last 15 years we have had over 50,000 happy customers from all over the world, but we cannot please everyone all the time, nevertheless we can put things right, even if the post office destroys your package. Just let us know if you are disappointed.
