PLUS....

THE BULLSEYE MIXTURE - an enjoyable fiction story which incorporates complete details of old time carbon pack color casehardening methods. (Have you ever read the comment, "These parts should be casehardened," in an article, and felt like grabbing the author by the neck and saying, "Well, why don't you give us some idea of HOW TO DO IT, then?!!) When you've read The Bullseye Mixture you will understand not only WHY you would caseharden certain parts, but also, in detail, HOW to do it yourself at home.) The story centers around two friends building a very special rifle, while the older one, who is terminally ill, struggles to transmit his knowledge of pack case hardening methods to the younger man before he dies. That is not all the younger man learns from his old friend.
