CHOKE-BORE GUNS, 



Tried on Game in America. 



Supplied by 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 appreciation of the 10-lb. Greener brer-ch-load- 

 er purchased of you last winter. I consider choke- 

 boring, if skillfully done, as the greatest improve- 

 ment in fowling-pieces since the introduction of the 

 percussion cap. It gives the maker complete con- 

 trol of the pattern, and greatly increases penetra- 

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

 of this gun. Tned24ncn 10-gange barrels, charged 

 with <(!/£ drachms of powder and \% oz. No. Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from 285 to 

 33" pellets in 3'Mnch circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder aud \y 2 oz. No. 4 American shot 

 gives 180 to 175 pattern, wiih penetration which kills 

 ducks at 50 to 7 yards like a stroke of lightning. It 

 is a characteristic of the choke-bore to shosv its 

 greatest superiority in the large sized shot. What [ 

 am about to say will perhaps surprise you as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of the 

 12-gauge 28-ineh modified choke-bore barrels, with 

 3X drachms of powder and \)>i oz. of shot. I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 yards as with the full choke lo-gauge barrels at 40 

 yards, with tremendous penetration. This is just the 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally And ruffed grouse, woodcock 

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

 tions, at from 15 to 25 yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 

 Dear 8m— The guns arrived all right. We think 

 these last guns you have sent us will place the 

 Greener guns ahead of any other in this country, as 

 guns of other makers don't compare in shooting 

 qua ities with them. We unhesitatingly recommend 

 the Greener as far superior to any gun of foreign or 

 domestic manufacture that we have seen. We say 

 this after seeing and usiug guus of all the most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO. 

 Selha, Ala. 



The Greener gun presented by Mr. Squires for the 

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

 hard hitter, killing its game at very long di-tances 

 It Is the second Greener tln.t 1 have owned and they 

 cannot be beaten. I can win with them at the trap 

 or in the field. S. B. DiLLEY. 



Lake City, Minn. 



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

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

 modified choke-bore. I have had an opportunity to 

 test these weapons on birds heavily feathered, and 

 where great penetration was essential to success. I 

 kave repeatedly made long shots, always killing the 

 a :. At a target both guns made a very 

 even distribution of the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion. • F. C, FIELD. 



Snt— The Greener breech-loader I purchased of 

 vou is very tine indeed, anri gives great satisfaction.
