Accuracy of information

[raymeketa]

I have done a little writing in my time, and even have a few published works. It has to be pretty bad before I will criticise another author because I am well aware of the many errors and omissions that can creep into the final publication, no matter how well it may have been edited. And not just stuff from an unknown like me, but your best and most respected authors. Ask any of them. They'll tell you.

It's easy to read a book or article and find errors to criticize. It's not so easy to do all the hours of research and put the thing together. Try it.

Someone did put the rifle to his shoulder. I've probably put 200 or more rounds through it. The scope is an m/42 AGA, and I can assure you that it is mounted correctly in the photo on the cover of the 1st and 2nd editions and the color page of the 3rd edition.

Response to JGaynors's comment on the Swedish Mauser Rifle book.

Mr. Poyer, In a couple of your responses to criticism you have questioned why your citics did not email you directly. Well i did regarding the point about the scope mounting. It was a while ago. About three computers and two ISPs so don't bother looking.

i assume I have the first edition it has a 1999 copyright.

All I can say is the photo of the M/41 on the cover (and pp166) shows the scope mounted one way and the photos on pp171, 173, and 174 show it mounted differently.

Attached are two pics of my own rifle just the way i received form Century Arms 40~years ago the scope is mounted as on your pp 171,173 and 174.

Overall i think it's an excellent book with a lots of valuable information.

But i have asked you twice now when the second volume of your US sniper book is coming out with no response.
if you want to participate fine, But communication is a two way street.

Regards,
Jim
