Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
I loved the battles between O'Connor and Keith back in the day. They got into it over what gun/load was best but in the end it was all over nothing as either gun killed just as dead at any reasonable distance.
The Q&A colums were good too , "Will my .22 or kill a moose?" Dah!!!

Jack O'Conner, Skeeter Skelton and Russell Anabel
Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
In no specific order: Jeff Cooper, Charles Askins, Jon Sundra, Mike Venturino (still is!), Jack O'Connor, Dave Arnold. Some of the other monthly writers for G&A and Shooting Times like Art Blatt, Howard French, Dave Hetzler, Bill Jordan, Phil Spangenberger and Skeeter Skelton as well. Still have a bunch of those old mags and read them again and again, every now and then.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
I used to really enjoy Finn Aagaard. They don't make'em like him anymore. Finn was always doing articles about guns he built from old Mauser actions, and high tech for him was a piece of inner tube for a scope cover. I still remember an article he did where he got one of the early fiberglass stocks and decided it was too slick, so he mixed some left over acuraglass with sand from the creek and slathered it on for 'checkering'.
Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
Skeeter Skelton was my favorite, but I read all I could get my hands on.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
Got to visit with John Taffin at a SASS match in Branson once. We both liked Lucian Carey who wrote for True Magazine. I've mentioned Russell Annabell here before. Keith of course, since "Hell I Was There". Taffin and I are exactly the same age so we grew old on the same writers. Now days I like Venturino and Mas Ayoob, but I still go to the back page of Guns to read Taffin first. I still have most of O'Conner's books on my shelf but then I have the first Guns and nearly all the subsequent issues of that magazine.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
Skeets was the most interesting as he always added humor......by far, my favorite
When Elmer Keith talked/wrote.....I listened as his word was gold with me....he could do no wrong.
Bill Jordan was a close second to Skeeter.
Warren Page was good...but as he was a mental genius, his writing was somewhat boring.....truthful, but boring.
Jack O'Connor's articles were usually skipped over....while good, the things he wrote about never interested me.
Askins? He was somethin'. I "hear" he did not have much value for subhuman life...it's just what I hear.....no facts. His daddy was th consummate of all things "shotgun".
Then we have Bob Milek, Dan Flores, Rick Jamison, Skeeter Jr., and a host of others who were good guys and wrote very well.....Jamison was almost scientific in his writings...very smart guy.......but hey,
there's only so much time to read.........kind of hard to get to know all of them.
Today, my favorites, like Fordwannabe says, Mike V. and Brian Pearce. And of course , John Taffin. These guys write on the guns I like and I have learned a great deal from them.
Then we have that yahoo from Texas, a writer name Griff......he's good on the blackpowder stuff and is very entertaining writing about his adventures on the road, while with his best buddy...the Black Rose. -----6

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
It's been a long time since I bought a gun mag, but I used to read Coopers Corner often, which is why I bought my first 10mm in the 80's. Carried a 1911 for awhile but went back to the 10mm. I will always be thankful to Cooper for it's development.

Now if we could just get Shrapnel to do some writing. Or have Mike V. write as he talks. Would be some intersting backwoods hunts and stories.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
Hell guys, all of the above writers were and some still are good.
We all read their books and articles in the magazines.
I was introduced to them as a 10 year old at Christmas with books from Jack O'Conner and Elmer Kieth. Many of nights I was reading them under the covers with a flashlight so Dad or Mom would think I was sleeping. Little did I know that they knew exactly what was going on, but since I was reading they encouraged it.
They also never gave me any slack come school time to get up. Great days growing up.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
I got every Shooting Times I could get my hands on, in the early 80's, to read Skelton and Jordan's articles. I also had Guns and Ammo's Guns of the Gunfighters which had articles by Keith, Gary James and Phil Spangenberger along with others. I was not flush with cash so the library got hit pretty often.... mostly the Colby series of firearms books and also the Time Life series. Lots of flaws in the latter and the G and A book but lots of fun to read and a starting point at least. I enjoy Keith and Taffin now and still read Old West and Civil War history/firearms. Right now I am reading the Texas Rangers by Webb. I would like to find some of the books of Francis Sell as I've enjoyed his stuff when I could get my hands on it. Seyfried, Pearce and Scoville when they talk revolvers, levers or a classic round for them.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
These would be mine with Skeeter being my favorite. I'd have to add Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch, a common sense type of guy. I also consider Rick Jamison a trusted authority on reloading. I met Jim Carmichael once and asked him to sign my copy of a book he had written, just looked at me and walked off. Bill Jordon on the other hand, gladly signed my copy of his "No Second Place Winners", it's one of my most prized possessions, and talked to me like a brother for several minutes. I liked and admired Colonel Cooper for years and read every thing he wrote that I could get my hands on...until he started his tirade about how useless the 9mm was.3leggedturtle wrote:Skeeter Skelton, Bill Jordan and of course Elmer Keith.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
Don't know if he rates as one of the old ones, but Glen Fryxell is well worth reading, especially if you like to roll your own loads.
I'm currently reading "hell, I was there" by Keith. He kind of had me stunned several times when he called the 30-06 a poor game getter. I can only assume that in his day good hunting bullets were hard to find.
Problem with many gun writers, both old and new, is they write what the paying customer wants to hear. If the customer is the maker of a new gun then it's a great gun that we should all rush out and buy. If the customer is an old hunter then he is advised that he's better off sticking with his trusty 30-30

You are correct about that. He (among others) even experimented with GI bullets turned backwards for a wadcutter effect. Said it worked pretty good.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
See a lot of familiar bylines here. For me, O'Connor topped the list, although he was said to be an *** in person. Cooper wrote like a bank vault closes. Appreciated and miss Gary Sitton. Ross Seyfried brings wonderful passion to his work, and writes about some of the most interesting firearms ever made. I have spent many happy hours with Ken Waters over the years. Reaching back, I will read anything that came from the hand of Ned Roberts.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
I owe a lot to American gun writers, growing up in the virtual firearm desert of England, I read everything about anything that was firearm related. As I got older I managed to get a job in the Birmingham gun trade and my modest knowledge stood me well.
Still learning from reading the posts on Leverguns, some of you guys are up there with the best!...
A couple of British gun writers I liked were Gough Thomas and Major J.E.M.Ruffer.
Whilst working for Westley Richards I re-sleeved an experimental 16 gauge for Gough Thomas.

Re: The Good Old Gun Writers...
This all depends on our ages. I started buying gun magazines heavy in the late 50`s. I have pretty much quit buying them for quite a few years now. Funny, I pretty much quit buying them after the gun world went to black guns, "Tactical", shaved heads, martian sunglass`s etc.
That means of course who was popular that we all liked, Elmer, Skeeter, Bill Jordan etc. I read them all. I still like Venturino and Russ Sigfurd (sp?). One that no one mentioned that wrote for a little while is Tommy Bish. I have a Colt Single Action that he rebuilt. When it comes to revolvers and levers what new thing can possibly be wrote about that hasnt been rehashed many times long ago?

Geoffrey Bothroyd was responsible for James Bond giving up his .25 ACP.
