Just a head's up to the community that Sam Pikula's seminal work on the Dutch Armalite AR-10 rifles is now available on Kindle. Copies of the original
have regularly traded in recent years for hundreds of dollars and this is a great way for enthusiasts to get access to the material without paying an arm and a leg for a hard copy, even when one can be found.

While Collector Grade Publications recent offering on the Dutch Armalite's was of course well received by the community, it only supplants Pikula's earlier work, it does not replace it, and there is a difference between a book written by someone who has "been there, done that" and one written by an author with no actual personal experience. There are plans to reprint Sam's book (as he has been urged to for many years) but in the meantime, a Kindle copy is an easy, efficient, and cost effective method of having access to the material. If you've never had the opportunity to read this book, don't pass this up.

Do you know anything about plans to reprint it on paper?

I could borrow my wife's kindle but for reference material I like paper

Aw heck, I had to jump on the e-reader wagon just to read this book.

Mr. Pikula, if you read this, Im so thankful you changed your mind from your original response to me from the 2013 thread (so longingly mentioned in the e-book forward) where you rejected the idea of an electronic re-release. Ive waited for years to read your book. I hope there is a hardcover edition someday, I would seriously consider buying it on paper to add it to my library along with The Black Rifle 1 and 2.

Purchased. I spend my life on Kindle or audible these days. This will make airports and other long boring times where I have nothing to read fly by. Thanks.
