Gun and Rifle Manufacturers, 
Call the attention of the Sportsmen of America to the 
extreme SIMPLICITY, STRENTH and DURABIL¬ 
ITY of their New Patent “SIMPLEX” Breech loader 
and INDEPENDENT EXTRACTOR. 
The parts in this new action are so few (only two,) 
its mechanical soundness so thorough, and the 
strength and simplicity of the action so great, that 
W. & P. feel sure it will supercede all the complicated 
and manifold grips now in use, its one powerful grip 
being far stronger than any double, treble or quadruple 
grip now used. In this new action LEVER and GRIP 
ARE ONE SOLID PIECE OF STEEL and the AN¬ 
GLE of the BODY is left in its ENTIRE STRENGTH. 
Drawings of action and extractor will be sent on ap¬ 
plication, and orders may be forwarded through any 
of the best houses in the States for execution in the 
Spring. 
Guns guaranteed to make patterns of from 160 to 
230 with No. 6 SHOT AT 40 YARDS, as desired.
