and, furthermore, that good results could 
be obtained from two and one-half 9r 
two and three-quarter inch shells. 
Having all the curiosity and anxiety 
of a youngster, I could scarcely wait 
until my Magnum arrived, and when it 
came to hand the packages looked won- 
derful to me. I guess there are many 
who know how one’s hands tremble when 
opening the packages containing “The 
Gun.” 
It looked pretty good, but was not en- 
graved to any extent considering the 
cost. It was well balanced, handled well 
and weighed eight and one-half pounds. 
The stock and forearm were made of 
good selected walnut but not exceptional- 
ly fine. We do not seem to be able to get 
the old style fancy dark-grained walnut 
gun stocks of years ago. The rib had 
the regular drop in the center between 
the breech and the muzzle, as on all the 
older guns. The choke did not seem to 
be extra tight (close). The barrels were 
rather heavy throughout and the bore 
seemed to narrow all the way from the 
breech to the muzzle. There seemed to 
be some question as to a slight enlarge- 
ment of the bore just before the choke 
commenced. The gun was not cut larger 
than the ordinary twelve-gauge (not an 
eleven-gauge as some of Ore sporting 
writers would have us believe). The 
cone as compared with other guns of my 
collection (Parker, L. C. Smith, Ithaca, 
Remington and Winchester) seemed to 
resemble more closely that of the Parker 
gun. The chamber was spacious, which 
is very satisfactory for hand-loaded 
shells. The end of the chamber seemed 
almost invisible and merged into the cone 
with scarcely any obstruction to the 
touch, but it could be seen by transmitted 
light. 
I tried the gun at sixty yards, using 
four drams of Du Pont, and one and 
one-half ounces of number four shot in 
three-inch Leader shells. The patterns 
in thirty-inch circles were very pleasing. 
No duck could get through them. At 
thirty-five yards number four shot were 
driven through an inch soft pine board. 
Field work with jack-snipe, using or- 
dinary shells, twenty-six grains Balistite, 
one and one-fourth ounces of number 
seven and one-half shot gave killing 
range from forty to sixty yards. With 
ordinary loads of black powder the gun 
did not seem to do so well. The same 
was true with number nine and ten shot 
for snipe. 
At sixty yards with heavy loads of 
number eight shot the target was poor as 
to pattern and to numbers in target. 
(These tests were made against the 
wind.) Shooting number fours, fives, 
twos and ones into water at one hundred 
yards, using heavy loads, the charge 
dropped about ten yards short, but gave 
rather a compact splash. No results on 
ducks were obtained, for the reason that 
every time that I took the gun into the 
blind no ducks put in appearance. How- 
ever, a number of single mud hens were 
killed while swimming in the water at a 
distance estimated at from eighty to one 
hundred yards, using number five shot 
and four drams of powder and elevating 
the gun about one foot over the birds. 
The trials averaged three shots to kill.
