Trade paperback. Etat : Good. Fourteenth Edition. 1216 pages. Glossary. Illustrations. Abbreviations. References. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Tear as bottom back corner. This book is the result of nonstop and continual firearms research obtained by attending gun shows and by communicating with gun dealers and collectors throughout the country each year. This book represents an analysis of prices for which collectible firearms have actually been selling for during that period at an average retail level. Although every reasonable effort has been made to compile an accurate and reliable guide, gun prices may vary significantly depending on such factors as the locality of the sale, the number of sales that were considered, and economic conditions. This edition includes a revised "Photo Percentage Grading System," that will enable collectors to accurately ascertain the condition of most firearms. Editions that are superseded retain significant reference value. They provide a baseline against with later changes can be identified and their impact assessed. They also provide a boundary against which changes from earlier versions that occur in that edition can also be identified and assessed. Steve was born on July 18, 1950. Steve was introduced to firearms and hunting at a young age. Steve attended the University of Minnesota and North Dakota State University. His love of firearms would become his life's work after he began attending shows on the gun show circuit. It was obvious Steve had a knack for firearms as he bought a Winchester Model 21 Grand American in 1976 on layaway. In 1980, Steve moved to Minneapolis and began working as a numismatist and a gun broker with Investment Rarities. A year later, he took over the manuscript of the annual Blue Book of Gun Values. In 1988, Steve and three others founded Blue Book Publications, which over the years expanded into a robust publishing company with more than 100 titles in print and a full online offering. The 40th Anniversary Edition Blue Book of Gun Values was published in early 2019. Steve was into collectibles, specifically fine firearms. Steve was also a lifelong member of SCI, OGCA, BCA, MWCA, Armor & Arms Club of New York, as well as the NRA, and was currently serving as a member on the Publication's Committee. He has authored hundreds of articles and on-line postings that have appeared in American Rifleman, Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Guns & Ammo, The Shooting Sportsman, and other industry magazines as well as making many appearances over the years on TV.

This is a snap-shot, during the opening period of the twenty-first century, not only of gun values, but of hunting and other sports, collecting, repairing, and attitudes toward gun rights. Steven Peter "S.P." Fjestad was introduced to firearms and hunting at a young age. Steve attended the University of Minnesota and North Dakota State University and he began working for Burgess Construction Company, who were building the interstate at that time. His love of firearms would become his life's work after he began attending shows on the gun show circuit. It was obvious Steve had a knack for firearms as he bought a Winchester Model 21 Grand American in 1976 on layaway, while working road construction- something worth significantly more today. In 1980, Steve moved to Minneapolis and began working as a gun broker with Investment Rarities. A year later, he took over the manuscript of the annual Blue Book of Gun Values. In 1988, Steve and three others founded Blue Book Publications, which over the years expanded into a robust publishing company with more than 100 titles in print and a full online offering. The 40th Anniversary Edition Blue Book of Gun Values was published in early 2019. Steve was into collectibles, specifically fine firearms. Steve authored hundreds of articles that have appeared in American Rifleman, Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Guns & Ammo, The Shooting Sportsman, and other magazines as well as making many appearances over the years on TV. The new 34th Edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values by S.P. Fjestad has been expanded to over 2400 pages, easily making it the highest page count of any firearms book then in print. New 2013 makes and models have been included, along with updated values on discontinued firearms and antiques. Once again, the Photo Percentage Grading System provides high resolution color images that are the last word to help ascertain any firearm's correct condition factor based on the percentage of original condition. Revolvers, pistols, rifles, and shotguns are also shown separately, in addition to NRA Antique Condition Factors. Other sections have also been expanded, including Serialization and the helpful Trademark Index, which lists all pertinent information on many of the world's firearms manufacturers, distributors, and importers. Most of the information contained in this publication is simply not available anywhere else, for any price!

Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon. Ammunition is both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines) and the component parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., bullets and warheads). Nearly all mechanical weapons require some form of ammunition to operate. The term ammunition can be traced back to the mid-17th century. The word comes from the French la munition, for the material used for war. Ammunition and munitions are often used interchangeably, although munition now usually refers to the actual weapons system with the ammunition required to operate it. In some languages other than English ammunition is still referred to as munition, such as French ("munitions"), German ("Munition") or Italian ("munizione"). The purpose of ammunition is to project a force against a selected target to have an effect (usually, but not always, lethal). The most iconic example of ammunition is the firearm cartridge, which includes all components required to deliver the weapon effect in a single package. Ammunition comes in a great range of sizes and types and is often designed to work only in specific weapons systems. However, there are internationally recognized standards for certain ammunition types (e.g., 5.56×45mm NATO) that enable their use across different weapons and by different users. There are also specific types of ammunition that are designed to have a specialized effect on a target, such as armor-piercing shells and tracer ammunition, used only in certain circumstances. Ammunition is commonly colored in a specific manner to assist in the identification and to prevent the wrong ammunition types from being used accidentally. Ammunition design has evolved throughout history as different weapons have been developed and different effects required. Historically, ammunition was of relatively simple design and build (e.g., slingshot, stones hurled by catapults), but as weapon designs developed (e.g., rifling) and became more refined, the requirement for more specialized ammunition increased. Modern ammunition can vary significantly in quality but is usually manufactured to very high standards. For example, ammunition for hunting can be designed to expand inside the target, maximizing the damage inflicted by a single round. Antipersonnel shells are designed to fragment into many pieces and can affect a large area. Armor-piercing rounds are specially hardened to penetrate armor, while smoke ammunition covers an area with a fog that screens people from view. More generic ammunition (e.g., 5.56×45mm NATO) can often be altered slightly to give it a more specific effect (e.g., tracer, incendiary), whilst larger explosive rounds can be altered by using different fuzes.
