F. WESSON'S 



SUPERIOR 



Breech-Loading Rifle, 



BREECH-LOADING SHOT-CM. 



These improved Breech-loading Rifles have now 

 been in use and before the public a sufficient length 

 of time to be thoroughly tested as to capacity their 

 rapidity in loading and firing, simplicity, great 

 force and accuracy in shooting. 



For these qualities, together with the superior 

 finish, and exceedingly low price at which they 

 are sold, the Rifles justly merit the commendation 

 so generously awarded by army officers, and many 

 others well versed in rifle shooting, that, " It is the 

 best Breech-loading Rifle yet constructed, while its 

 accuracy is pronounced equal to the celebrated 

 Target Rifle." 



In combination with the Breech-loading Rifle, 

 the inventor has constructed what is termed a set 

 of loose ammunition tools for muzzle -loading, con- 

 sisting of steel chamber with tube to form a per- 

 fect breech or chamber to barrel, molds, both slug 

 and ball, with starter and patch cutter, thus con- 

 verting the Breech-loading Rifle into a muzzle- 

 loader in three seconds' time. 



The Carbine or Cavalry Arm, No. 44 bore, 24- 

 inch barrel, weight 6 pounds, with open sights, 

 and throwing a slug 28 to the pound ; swivels and 

 strap attached to sling upon the back when riding 

 on horseback or otherwise, may be considered the 

 best arm to be found for mountain use where 

 long range of shots is required, and rapidity in 

 firing is desired. 



One having become accustomed to the use of the 

 above arm, can fire twenty-five shots per minute 

 with good aim. 



For further knowledge of the Wesson Breech- 

 loading Rifle, those interested are referred to test
