CHOKE-BORE GUNS, 



Tried on Game in America. 



Supplied by H. 0, Squires, 1 Cortlandt St., 



NEW YORK. 

 See the Following Testimonials : 



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

 i:lI. in siv.ialion of the 10-lb. Greener breech-load- 

 rcha of yon last winter. I consider ehok.e- 

 bormg. if skilli'ti'ly done, as the greatest improve- 

 ment in fowimg-pieces since the introduction of the 

 percussioi cap, ttgives the maker complete con- 

 trol of the paittrn, and greatly increases penetra- 

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

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

 w:::i ■■, of powder and IV oz. No. Eng- 



lish, ch pati er.as ranging from 885 to 



330 pellets in 30-ineh circle at 40 yaras. The same 

 charge of powder and \Vt. oz. No. 4 American shot 

 ;/'-■'-' [■: . :: >:i ei n, wiih penetration which kills 

 ducks at 5J'to 7 yards like a stroke of lightning. It 

 is a characteristic of the choke-liore to show its 

 greati poriority in the large sizeo shot. What I 

 am about to say will perhaps surprise you as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of the 

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

 3% drachms of po;Wder and \% oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern aud spread of shot at 25 

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

 yards, ■with, tremen ins per ion. This is just the 

 performance required of a gnu for thick cover, in 

 which yon generally find ruffed grouse, woodcock 

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

 tions, at from 15 to ■& yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 



Dear Sir— 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 

 qualities with them. We unhesitatingly recommend 

 the Greener a3 far superior to any gun of foreign or 

 domestic manufacture that we have seen. We say 

 this after seeing and using guns of all the most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO. 



Selma, 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 distances. 

 It is the second Greener that I oare owned and they 

 cannot be beaten. u, u win with them at the trap 

 or in the Held. ;S. B, DILLEY. ^
