{"QUEST AND STREAM, 



m 



THE Shelton Auxiliary Rifle Barrel, which "was fully des- 

 cribed and indorsed in the Forest and Stream of 

 August 18, 1S78, has been received with expressions of 

 Unanimous and Unreserved Satisfaction by Uio Fraternity of 

 Sportsmen from Maine to Florida, and from Virginia to Cali- 

 fornia. The particular points of merit claimed for the Shel- 

 ton Auxiliary Barrel by its manufacturers are : Simplicity of 

 Construction, precluding the possibility of its ever gettiDg 

 out of order; Ready Adjustment; Ease of Manipulation; 

 Accuracy of Fire, and Power of Penetration. Its use has 

 invariably given the most complete satisfaction. It can and 

 does perform all that any other sporting rifle could do. It 

 does not and cannot injure the gun. The weapon formed by 

 the combination of the shotgun and the Shelton Auxiliary 

 Rifle is the Most Effective and Satisfactory Sporting Arm in 

 the World. 



Below are published a few of the scores of testimonials, 

 corroborative of the abrive, which are being constantly re- 

 ceived by the Shelton Auxiliary Rifle Barrel Company, of 

 New Haven, Conn. The letters are from gentlemen sports- 

 men, who have made thorough and exhaustive personal tests 

 of the weapon, and who, after their experience, add unso- 

 licited testimony to all the advantages claimed for it : 



Gr.NTLiiiiEX :— You are hereby authorized to use my name as to 

 the merits of your Auxiliary Barrel. It ia certainly all that you 

 claim for it, and I have beeu agreeably disappointed. 



T. J. Houston.

 ary as with any rille, using the same cartridge.

Freeport, 111., May 17, 1879.

 fectly willing for you to use my name. J. H- Staveh.

Lawrence, Kan., May 15, 1879. 

 Gentlemen -.—After a repeated number of shots, both myself 

 and friends agreed that for accuracy it- mucb exceeded anything 

 that we believed possible with an arm of this kind. 



F, W. Jaedioke. 



Martsville. May 17, 1870. 

 Gentlemen :— In reply to your request, dated May 10. 1879, for 

 privilege to use my name as regards the merits of Auxiliary Rifle 

 Barrel, I would say that you are at liberty to do so. 



J. N. Aldricu, 

 Under Sheriff, Uba County, Cal. 



Georgetown, D. C-, -Tune 7, 1879. 

 Gentlemen :— Have one of your Auxiliary Rifle Barrels. It 

 surprises me and every one that has seen it shoot. I can do bet- 

 ter shooting with it than any rifle I have ever used. I do not 

 know how to aocount for it, without I am more used to handling a 

 shotgun. Geo. J. Ross. 



Negaunee, Mich. , April 15, 1879. 

 Gentlemen :— I have tried the Auxiliary Rifle you forwarded 

 me it li inst., and must confess I am entirely satisfied with it. For 

 sporting purposes it is certainly the beat thing out. I will take 

 pleasure in recommending your rifle. T. J. Houston, 



Mayor of Negaunee, Mich. 



Shenandoah, May 17, 1S79. 

 Gentlemex :— I take great pleasure in adding to your already 

 large list an unqualified testimonial as to the merits of the Aux- 

 iliary Rifle Barrel. It worked to perfection. I regard it as an in- 

 dispensible attachment to any shotgun, and would not be without 

 it. You are perfectly welcome to my signature to your circular 

 testimonial. Chas. S. Chase. 



Freeport, 111., Mav 13, 1879. 



Gentlemen :— I could Dot put it too Btrong how well I am 



pleased with my rifle barrel. T have mine sighted to my Parker 



gun so well that I cut a blackbird in two at twenty yards. I lope 



to have some fine grouse shooting in Dakota Territory next fall — 



Gentlemen :— I have oi 

 yoar, and while in Northe 

 its true merits aud found 

 it. As to penetration, it 

 drilling a bear through 

 handled, and 



just out of shot range, as did Mr. Stavor last. A number of our 

 best hunters say the.y must have one. Jesse Burchard, 



of Burchard * Scott, 



Williamsport, Pa., Jan. 12, 1879. 

 Gentlemen:—! procured two of the barrels (14-100) from 

 Messrs. Grubb, in Philadelphia— one for my brother and one for 

 myself. We are very much pleased with them— iu fact, I have no 

 further use for any other rifle ; and although 1 am no expert rille 

 shot, can shoot as accurately with it as I could with mv other. 

 Have repeatedly "drove the nail," off-hand, at 30 yards. Fir d 

 the "' drop " of ball is very little from 30 to 100 yards. While in 

 the woods, have several times put a ball plumb in the centre of a 

 tree or stump as far as 150 yards. Did not yet go on a deer hnnt 

 this season, but if I live another year, will kill some with it. 



Edmund J. Koch. 



Columbus, O., April 2, 1879. 

 of .44 ca). which I have now used a 

 Michigan last fall, practically tested 

 it more than was actually claimed lor 

 all that ia desired, being capable of 

 ad through ; is light to carry, easily 

 . . none need want better. I have com- 

 peted several .times with parties using rifles, and have carried off 

 the " persimmons '' every time. For the benefit of sportsmen, 

 as to their pleasure, comfort tnd interest, I give my experience 

 with what I consider one of the most novel and practical additions 

 to a sportsman's outfit that can be found. Frank N. Beeee. 

 Supreme Court of Ohio Law Library. 



We have adopted the Shelton Gas Concentrator and Foul 

 Protector. 



1st. We find by experiment of the confinement of the gases 

 in a cylinder, after the ball has left the muzzle, and over- 

 come all friction, that the trajectory of the ball is flatter, and 

 penetration greater, than other rifles using same ammunition, 

 as the gases give additional force to the ball while being so 

 confined. 



2d. The Foul Protector, prevents the fouling of gun from 

 end of rifle to muzzle of shol-gun saving the trouble of 

 cleaning gun after target practice ; but when in the field, and 

 you are interchanging from shot to rifle, it is unnecessary, 

 In ordering rifles with Foul Protector, state the length of 

 your gun barrel— 28, 30, 33, inches, or whatever it may be. 

 The Foul Protector is sent free of charge with each barrel.
