GUNS AND AMMUNITION 



335 



Colt's, two .44 Colt's and one .32-20 Colt's 

 army, 434-inch barrel, single action. It is a 

 fine gun. You can carry it either in belt or 

 pocket. 



There is a difference between a Frontier 

 Colt and an Army revolver. The Army has a 

 hushing in cylinder; that is, a case that 



as well nor last as long. After they have been 

 shot several times you cannot open them. Just 

 the same with the brake-down gun. 



The only reliable revolver on the market 

 to-day is the Colt. You can depend on the 

 single action every time. If you want a heavy 

 belt gun get a .45, 7^-inch barrel. If you

works in the cylinder which the pin goes 

 through. The cylinder will not heat enough 

 to stick. The bushing forms a non-conductor. 

 The Frontier has no bushing. 



If you have a double-action you cannot tell 

 whether it will go or not. By pulling the trig- 

 ger quickly the cylinder will pass far enough 

 by so that the plungers will hit on the side 

 of cap and miss fire. You have got to have a 

 good heavy gun to do good work. The small 

 pocket gun is practically useless except for 

 the explosion of blank cartridges on the 

 Fourth of July or similar occasions. 



Take the swing-out cylinder, they are not 

 durable as the Army Colt ; they will not shoot 



want a light one, buy a .32-20 424-inch barrel, 

 and you will have one for all purposes. 



I have several rifles — a .30-30, .32-40 Win- 

 chester, .45-70 Springfield, .50-70 Sharp — all 

 good guns. 



There was a party of us in Franklin Coun- 

 ty (Loon Lake) last fall hunting. Had pretty 

 good luck. I shot a fine deer which weighed 

 100 pounds. Isaac Daniels, also of Deposiv, 

 shot one that weighed 107 pounds. We were 

 gone ten days, and the sport was so "win- 

 ning" that we are going again this' fall. The 

 weather was bad during our stay there last 

 fall, but this did not dampen our ardor for 

 deer.
