36 THE GUN: AFIELD AND AFLOAT 



Harrison, of the well-known firm of Messrs. Cogswell 

 and Harrison, and on my suggesting to him that wild- 

 fowlers were not so well served in the matter of cheaper 

 forms of hammerless and ejector-gun as their more 

 fortunate brethren the game-shooters, he decided to 

 produce a plain strong gun in which should be embodied 

 the more recent improvements. One of the earliest ex- 

 amples of guns of this pattern I have shot with somewhat 

 extensively ; it may be briefly described as follows : 

 A plain, strongly-built gun, having extra stout barrels of 

 steel, 30 inches long, chambered for 3-inch cases, and 

 both full choke ; top-lever action, with cross-bolt ; 

 hammerless locks, cartridge-ejecting mechanism, and 

 snap fore-end. The price of this hammerless ejector is 

 16, but I find that this firm produces a similar gun 



without ejector for 12.
