EJECTOR GUN. 



Safety! Strength! 

 Symmetry! 



t ^4^\ ^eien proved of unequalled safety. R. Rochford-Boyd, Esq., writing to the London Field, of Nov. 7, 18?5, says: "Witt reference to the safety of hammerless guns, I agree with you that a 

 safety bolt to be of any value ought to be reliable, and to illustrate my meaning, the following may interest your readers: W^nen grouse driving on the Bervvyn Mountains, in Montgomerysbire, some ten days 

 since, and using a Greener ejecting gun. with safety bolt, the rain commenced descencUng in torrents, and, as a fog seemed imminent, the orf^er was given for home. Instead of following the downward track 

 adopted by the keepers and beaters, I decided on a shorter line of country, and decided to make my way along the face of a steep hill, scantily covered with fern. Placing my gun, which was loaded, at 'safe,'' I 

 made the attempt, and got on fairly well for a hundred yards, when I suddenly slipped and began rapidly to descend. After going some forty feet, and finding the pace increasing, I was forced to let my gun go. 

 Supping and swinging round, presenting its stock and muzzle alternately at my head, it shot rapidly down the hill and disappeared over a cliff, toward which I unwillingly followed. My sensation at that moment 

 V myself. Luckily some friendly ferns checked my pace, and I brought up a few yards from the edge. Regaining my feet, I cautiously proceeded till I got on a sheep track, and succeeded by the aid of 



a boulder In gaining such a foothold as to enable me to approach the edge and attract the attention of the men, then hundreds of feet below me". Indicating that I had lost my gun, one of them with great dlEQ- 

 culty climbed up the face of the hill, and after some time uttered a shout. Then, far below me and embedded half way up the barrels, with the stock stickiog straight up, I perceived the gun. A mossy spring 

 between two rocks had received it in its fall; a couple of yards to the right or left, and it would have been smashed to atoms. Twenty minutes later it was restored to me, the barrels plugged up for some inches, 

 hut apparently having received no external injury, save a few scratches, and a piece chipped off the heel plate. The trigger guard was, however, a study; bits of fern and rushes were twisted round the triggers , 

 which caught in everything in the downward course; but the safety bolt had done its work, and the cartridges were Intact. While I write there hangs ajsove me an old and valued sei*vant, a Greener gun, with 

 rebounding locks, Ne.irly 100,000 shots have been fired out of that gun; had it, however, biien with me oa tbe hills that day, a different sequel might have been told. I always considered hammer guns with re- 

 bounding locks required cai-e, not only in crossing fences andm covert, and from the liability to explode when dropped, but fron tbe tendency of the hammers to catch in buttonholes and watch chains, as has 

 frequently happened to me. Sportsmen have every reason to be thankful that science has invented such a boon as hammerless guns with reliable safetj? bolts— in my opinion the safest and pleasantest guns any 

 one can desire— provided gentlemen recognize the fact that a cheap gun on that principle is one of the" mos.t dangerous things out, and, when they decide to go in for a hammerless gun, select a first-class gun 

 maker for the purpose "
