WILLIAMS & POWELL, 



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 gnat, 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 LEV KK «nd GRIP 

 ARE ONE SOLID PIECE OP 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.

 230 with No. 6 SHOT AT 40 YARDS, as desired.
