BREECH LOADING GUNS 
A SPECIALTY. 
We would call the attention of the public to our 
arge assortment of 
Breech-Loading Shot Guns, 
Manufactured by the following celebrated makers: 
Messrs. W. & C. SCOTT & SONS (winners at the In¬ 
ternational Gun Trial of 1873); P. WEBLEY & SON, 
W. W. GREENER, WESTLEY RICHARDS, J. HOL- 
*■ LIS & SONS, and other makers.

To insure good shooting from Breech-loading Guns, 
we would recommend the use of the 
STURTEVANT BRASS SHOT SHELLS, 
manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co., 
Bridgeport, Conn. These shells are the cheapest and 
best m the market, can be easily re-capped with ordi¬ 
nary caps, without the use of the implements neces¬ 
sary in priming all other styles of shells.

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, 6 th June, 1872, 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: 
“ Resolved , That 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 receiving orders for these guns, and due 
notice will be given in this paper when they are ready 
for delivery. .
