§$ort8mm n 0oacte. 
This arm was submitted in competition with over 
one hundred different systems, American and Euro¬ 
pean. to the Board of United States Officers, appoint¬ 
ed by Act of Congress, Cth June, 1S72, for the pur¬ 
pose of selecting the best arm for the service, and of 
which Brig. Gen. A. H. Terry was President. It suc¬ 
cessfully passed through all the tests. 
The following is the report of the Board: 
“ Besotted, Tha,t the adoption of magazine guns for 
the military service by all nations is only a question 
of time; that whenever an arm shall be devised which 
shall be as effective as a single breech-loader, as the 
best of the existing breech-loading arms, and shall at 
the same time possess a safe and easily manipulated 
magazine, every consideration of public policy will re¬ 
quire its adoption. 
Resolved , further , That the experiments before the 
Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 
so impressed the Board with the merits of this gun, 
that they consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con¬ 
ditions above specified than any other tried by them 
or of which they have any knowledge, and it does 
recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 
made on the plan for further trial in the field.” (See 
Ordnance Report.) 
We are now making these guns to supply the nu¬ 
merous demands, and will soon have them in the 
market. 
The following is our scale of prices: Special Maga¬ 
zine for large game, carrying from 3 to 8 cartridges, 
70 to 85 grs. of powder, 350 to 400 grs. of lead. 8 to 10 
lbs.weight, from $60 and upwards, according to finish. 
Special Long-range Magazine Rifle for Creedmoor 
shooting, 90 grs. of powder. 480 grs. of lead, carrying 
3 to 8 cartridges, weighing 10 lbs., from $100 and up¬ 
ward. Magazine guns for general use, carrying 3 to 
9 cartridges, 60 grs. powder, 350 grs. lead from $40 
and upward. Single Breech-Loader, Creedmoor 
shooting, for long range, 90 grs. powder; 480 grs. lead, 
from $60 and upward. Single Breech-Loader for 
general use, 6 to 7 lbs., 60 grs. powder, 350 grs. lead, 
from $30 and upward. The calibre of all our rifles, 
unless otherwise ordered, will be 45-100. in.
