Hex Bore – The Firearms of Sir Joseph Whitworth
by David Minshall and Tom Rowe
‘Hex Bore’ follows the development of Whitworth’s hexagonally bored muzzle-loading rifle, traces its extensive military trials, and features its use with Confederate Sharpshooters during the American Civil War and its little-known use in New Zealand. Chapter by chapter, the book discusses the evolution of the Whitworth rifle: military, military target, semi-military, match, sporting, and double rifles. The book also features other makers that obtained license agreements with Whitworth. Accessories and ammunition, including the famous Davidson telescopic sight, are given in-depth coverage.
