W. W. Greener's 



CHOKE BORE GUNS, 



Tried on Came in America. 



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



NEW YORK. 

 See the Following Testimonials! 



Sir— I If a pleasure for me to inf rm you of my 

 high appreciation of the 10-lb. Greener breech-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 you the performances 

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

 with4J4 drachms of powder and \% oz. No. 6 Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from 285 to 

 330 pellets in 30-inch circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder and \y„ oz. No. 4 American shot 

 gives 160 to 175 pattern, with penetration which kills 

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

 is a characteristic of the choke-hore to show its 

 greatest superiority in the large sized 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 powder and la oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 yards as with the full choke 10-gauge barrels at 40 

 yards, with tremendous penetration. This is just the 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally find ruffed grouse, woodcock 

 and quail, these birds being killed, with few excepj 

 tlons, at from 15 to 25 yards. 



COL. JOHN BODLNE. 



Dear Sir— The guns arrived all right. Wethink 

 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 as 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. 



Sblma, 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 have owned and they 

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

 or in the field. S. B. DILLEY. 



Lake City, Minn. 



Sir— I have a pair of W. W. Ireenors oreech- 

 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 

 have repeatedly made long sltois, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very 

 even distribution of the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion, w . C. FIELD. 



Sir— The Greener breech-loader I purchased of 

 you is very fine indeed, and gives great satisfaction.
