CHOKE BORE GUNS, 



Tried on Came in America. 



Supplied Ly H. C. Squires, 1 Cortlandt St., 



NEW YORK. 



See the Following Testimonials : 

 Sib— It is a pleasure for me to inform you of my 



high appre 

 er pure has 

 boring, if ( 

 ment in fin 



of the 10-lb. Greener breech-load" 

 iter. I consider chofce- 

 tlie greatest improve- 

 tlie introduction of the 

 i maker complete con- 

 trol of the pattern, and greatly increases penetra- 

 tion. To prove this, I will give you the performances 

 of this gun. The 32-inch 10-gauge barrels, charged 

 with 4J4 drachms of powder and 1,V,' oz. No. fi Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from 285 to 

 33« pellets in .W-ineh circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder and lyj oz. No." 4 American shot 

 gives 160 to rvr. pattern, with penetration which kills 

 ducks at BO to 7o yards like a, stroke of lightning. Il- 

 ia a characteristic of the choke-oore to show its 

 greatest superiority in the large sized shot. What 1 

 am about to say will perhaps surprise you as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of the 

 i-J-gauge 28-inch modified choke-bore barrels, witli 

 3>i' drachms of powder and l,y oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 .yards as with t lie full choke 10-gauge barrels at 4fl 

 yards, with tremendous penetration. This is justtlie 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally liiid Duffed grouse, woodeoek 

 and quail, these birds being killed, with few excep- 

 tions, al from 15 to e.5 yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 



Dear Sir— The gnus arrived all right. We think 

 these last guns you have sent us will place the 

 eireener guns ahead of any other in this country, as 

 funs of other makers don't compare lu shooting 

 qua bies with them. We unhesitaiiiigiy recommend 

 the Oreener as far superior to any gun of foreign or 

 domesiic manufacture that we have seen. We say 

 this after seeing and using tains of all ihe most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO. 



Selma, Ala. 



The Greener gun presented by Mr. Squires for I he 

 best pointer, and awarded to me, is a close, clean, 

 hard hitter, killing its game at very loug distances 

 it is the second Greener that I have owned and Ihey 

 cannot be beaten. 1 can win with them at the tra'p 

 or in the Held. S. B. DiLLEY. 



Lake City, Minn. 



Sir— I have a pair of W r . W. Greener's breech- 

 loaders (bought of II. C. Squires, of New York), 

 modified. choke-bore: I have had an opportunity to 

 test these weapons on birds heavily feathered, 'arid 

 where great penetration was essential to success. 1 

 have repeatedly made long shots, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very 

 even distribution id' the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion. F. C. lf\ ELD. 



Sir— The Greene' 1 breech-loader I purchased of 

 vou is very line indeed, and gives great satisfaction.
