WHAT THEY SAY OF THE GUN BORE TREAT- 

 MENT. 



I noticed in April Recreation a re- 

 quest by R. E. P., of Franklin Falls, 

 N. H., for information concerning the 

 efficiency of the Gun Bore Treatment. I 

 write this from a desire to say a word of 

 praise where it is fully merited. I had my 

 .22 caliber repeating rifle treated by the 

 Gun Bore Treatment Co. last year. I 

 have used it a great many times since then, 

 and in all sorts of weather. Last summer 

 I took it on a camping trip, where I had 

 it out every night for a week without 

 shelter, as I had no tent. During that 

 time it was surrounded by a New Jersey 

 coast fog, than which there is nothing 

 worse. After that treatment I brought it 

 back* home and set it away without clean- 

 ing it. When 1 did finally clean it there 

 wasn't a speck of rust in the barrel; in 

 fact, it shone like a new dollar.

Have noticed several inquiries in your 

 valued magazine regarding the Gun Bore 

 Treatment Co. In response would say I 

 have had 2 Parker shot guns and 2 Win- 

 chester rifles treated, both inside and out. 

 Have given the treatment a thorough test 

 and can only speak of it in the best of 

 terms. One of the shot guns in particular 

 has been out in the rain several times and is 

 as bright and new to-day as when bought. I 

 let the guns go without cleaning several 

 months at a time and the barrels are as 

 bright and new when I do get around to 

 clean them as when purchased; in fact, I 

 rarely clean my .30-40 Winchester. Would 

 not be without the treatment for a great 

 deal, as it saves so much time and labor.

In answer to R. E. P., Franklin Falls, 

 N. H., inquiring about the Gun Bore 

 Treatment, would say: I had my Win- 

 chester pump gun treated over a year ago 

 and have shot it hundreds of times since, 

 both in the field and at the trap. I have 

 had it wet inside and out a number of 

 times, and there is not a spot of rust on 

 it. Since it was treated I have not cleaned 

 the barrel 3 times. On seeing R. E. P.'s 

 inquiry I cleaned the barrel and it looked 

 the same as it did the day it was treated. 

 I have also had my $125 Parker treated. 

 In my estimation the Gun Bore Treatment 

 is the best and only thing in the market 

 that will make guns thoroughly rust proof.

"R. E. P.," of Franklin Fall?. N. H.. 

 asks in your April issue how Gun-Bore- 

 Treated guns stand damp weather. This 

 is so easy, and I so love ease, that I will 

 answer. Dampness does not cause fust 

 or any change whatever in the locks or 

 barrels of guns which have had the Gun 

 Bore Treatment. As far as that danger is 

 concerned, R. E". P. may safely leave his 

 guns during the close season in the deep- 

 est pool under Franklin Falls.

SMALL SHOT. 



The target printed below shows a re- 

 markable 3-shot group which' at a recent 

 shoot, won a silver cup for Master Hazle- 

 wood Keller, son of T. H. Keller, the 

 New York agent of The Peters Cartridge 

 Co. and The King Powder Co. 



The shots were off-hand, at 65 feet. The 

 rifle was a Stevens Schuetzen, with Peters 

 .22 short cartridges: 



Will some sportsman of experience tell 

 us which is the best gun, the Parker, Rem- 

 ington or Ithaca? 



Will some one give his experience with 

 the Savage hammerless? Explain its g 

 points and its faults? Which rifle is the 

 better, the Stevens or Winchester, single 

 shot ?

It amuses me to read the letters of the 

 I-ioad-'em-myself fellows. I have used 

 rifles ever since I could hold one. When 

 I threw away my muzzle loader I quit foul- 

 ing with loose ammunition. 1 have always 

 found factory loaded shell- perfectly satis- 

 factory, and 100 per cent, better than you 

 or I could load them.

Why should the pump gun be considi 

 an unsportsmanlike arm? It is surely 

 harder to make a kill with a full ch< 

 repeater than with a cylinder double gun.
