To Insure good shooting from Breech-loading Guns, 
we would recommend the use of the

manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.. 
Bridgeport, Cohn. These shells are the cheapest and 
best in 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 SY.femB, American_andL Euro- 
Demi ro tho Board of United States Officers, appoint 
Sd by Act of Congress, 6th June, 1872, for the pur¬ 
pose of selecting the best arm for the service, and of 
Sb bS Gen A. H. Terry was President. It suc¬ 
cessfully passed through all the tests. 
The following is the report of the Boaid. 
«Resolved That the adoption of magazine guns for 
the militarv 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-loadihg arms, and shall at 
the same timepossess 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 
?o°?mpSed the B^ard with the merRe, erf: this gun, 
that thev consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con- 
dlKs JboTe specified than any other tried by them 
or of which they have any knowledge, and it does 
recommend that a number ot magazine muskets be 
made on the plan for further trial in the field. (fete
