Book: The Many Firearm Designs of Eugene Reising

[dalbert]

If anyone is interested in buying my book, "The Many Firearm Designs of Eugene Reising," I have copies available for $45 shipped.  I will inscribe them to you, and ship them via USPS Media Mail for that price.  Amazon has kept the book at over $50 since January, and I don't know if it will ever be discounted again, so I'm the cheapest source currently to obtain it.

Just let me know via private message on this site, or to my email address below if you're interested, and I can either send you a PayPal payment request, or give you an address where you can mail a check.

This new book has been in the works for 8 years, and is also available for purchase on Amazon.  The book's title is "The Many Firearm Designs of Eugene Reising," written by me, and published by Amazon.  The foreword is by Frank Iannamico.  "Thompson Printers" in Newark, OH did the cover layout. 😎

It is available at the following link:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1505541166/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=27JP8SDMFHQUC&keywords=the+many+firearm+designs+of+eugene+rising&qid=1669078109&sprefix=the+many+firearm+designs+of+eugene+reising%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1-fkmr0

This book will not win any artistic awards, and it's not a marvel of digital layout.  It's full of collector and historical information, and hundreds of photos.  The amount of new information is significant.  It contains over 46,600 written words, plus thousands more included in letters, manuals, and vintage advertising content.  It is a 350 page paperback book, in 6" x 9" format, printed in color.

So, why would this new book on Eugene Reising be interesting to me?  There are many reasons.  

• It covers Eugene Reising's career from start to finish, with information gained from research and family resources, including some very surprising twists and turns
• The history of Harrington and Richardson Arms Co. (H&R) is covered more than in any other previously published work, including a very detailed account of the H&R bankruptcy, and subsequent activity since the original company folded in 1986
• Learn about Eugene Reising's involvement with the design and adoption of the iconic M1911 pistol, while working with legendary gun designer John Browning, and stumping for the pistol with the likes of John T. Thompson
• If you like marksmanship, you will be impressed with Mr. Reising's proficiency, how it relates to the M1911, and how it influenced his designs
• Included in the book, printed in their entirety are two manuals for the MC-58 Rifle from my collection that have been virtually unobtainable - They are USMC TM-ORD-2000, and USMC SL-4-01423A - This includes a technical manual, and a stock list - This content is worth the price of the book by itself
• The Reising .22 Automatic Pistol is covered in great detail, which is a subject that has had very little coverage previously
• New information on the Reising Model 50 Submachine Gun, including a rebuttal to critics by Eugene Reising himself
• Reising .22 automatic rifles are covered in 4 chapters, including the Models 65, 165, 150, 151, and MC-58 - Mr. Reising's .22 rifles are the main focus of the book
• If you have any interest in Reising manuals, catalogs, and other paper items, they are covered extensively, as well as various accessories for the Reising pistol, submachine guns, and .22 rifles
• In addition to the two MC-58 manuals that are reprinted within, several instruction sheets for various Reising firearms are included
• You can explore many other firearms that Eugene Reising designed over the years, including a belt fed machine gun that competed with the Browning M1917 during WWI, some other submachine guns, tubular receiver M14's, the M14 Simulator, T30's, the "Guerrilla Rifle," and various other prototypes and personal firearms
• The book includes photos of many family heirlooms handed down by Eugene Reising and many previously unpublished photos
• It contains serial number data for over 460 examples of Reising .22 rifles collected over the last 8 years

If you are a firearm collector, you will find interest in this book.  It may even inspire you to seek more information that can expand our knowledge of the subject.  I hope you will enjoy it.
