'ABolt' - Well, I'll be d.....

Joe Poyer's book, "The American Krag Rifle and Carbine", by North Cape Publications, must suddenly be out of print and out of stock!

Until, literally days ago, it could be found on ebay, new, for $22.95, or less. Now, I see one listed for $175!

North Cape Publications only has it listed in "Kindle" version, for $19.95.

I personally like the Poyer book, but, it is not a $175 to $225 publication!

I think you just have to be patient and North Cape Publications will probably do another printing at a reasonable price.

Frank Mallory's, "The Krag Rifle Story", is out of print. Used copies sell for around $200. The 2nd Edition has more content than the 1st Edition. It is an enjoyable and valued reference.

William Brophy's, "The Krag Rifle", has good content and shows up "used", for around $125.

I have not seen a copy of Joe Farmers, self-published work. I believe it is structured for advanced Krag students and likely avoids repeating basic 'beginner' material.

I guess it would be wise to be patient and look for copies of Mallory's, Brophy's, and Poyer's books at gun shows.
