The Warner Collector’s Guide to American Longarms by H. Michael Madaus, former director of the prestigious Cody Firearms Museum, is a highly specialized book aimed squarely at collectors of historic rifles, muskets, carbines, and the like. It covers some 500 types of black powder firearms from early American history, from the founding through the end of the 19th Century.
This 255-page volume is divided into 50 chapters, not separated by manufacturer or time period, but each focusing on a particular configuration, for example, “Arsenal Alterations from Flintlock to Percussion” or “Patented Breechloading, Single-Shot Cartridge Rifles.”
