GUNS. 
A Splendid Op¬ 
portunity for Se¬ 
curing a Splendid 
Gun. 
We have made special arrangements with the manufacturers of the celebrated Remington rifles, shot guns, 
and pistols, whereby we are enabled to deliver them, carefully selected, to our subscribers and patrons at as low 
rates as they can be obtained at the factory. These guns are used by Orange Judd and by nearly all the noted 
Creedmoor shots. 
On receipt of price named, we will forward, free ol carriage, to any address in the United States east of 
tile Mississippi River, where there is an express or a freight office, any one of the guns described below, and at 
more distant points for a trifling addition. 
No. 1.—Double-Barreled, Breecli-S.oadtng, Central Fire Shot-Gun, warranted. 
Steel barrels, using paper or brass cartridges, that can be reloaded many times; 2 dozen of which and lvlon ier, 
(costing $4). and 500 primers, or caps (costing $1), are given with the gun ; one of the finest guns ever offered 
the American sportsman, combining all the most desirable features of the best imported, together witli some 
valuable improvements not found with any other. Just as good as many of those imported at a cost of $150 to 
$200 or more. Price, delivered. ... . . . $45.00 
No. 2.—Single-Barrel, Breecb-lLoading Shot-Gun, No. 16 Gauge.— Plainly made, 
but shoots just as well as the most costly carved and ornamented weapons. Can be loaded and fired 5 to 10 
times a minute: cleaning-rod and loading-stick, accompany the gun. Price, delivered. S18.00 
No. 3.— Single-Barrel, ITIuzzle-Doader Shot-Gun. —Just as good a gun as formerly sold for 
$15.00. and serves every purpose, where wanted for only occasional use, and where rapid loading or firing is of 
no account. Price, delivered . $6,00 
No. 4.—Long Range Creedmoor Bifles us d by most of the successful competitors at the Inter¬ 
national, State, and other rifle-contests. A great desideratum for shooting one-third to five-eighths of a mile or 
more, at game or otherwise. The Remingtons now make them at three prices. The barrels, lochs, etc., all of 
the same quality, and shooting equally well —the differences being in the stocks and extra finish. All three have 
venter sight, wind gauge, and spirit level. No. 1 has a “pistol grip” stock; No. 2 is without pistol grip; No. 
3 has a military stock. Some prefer these ; it is a good deal a matter of taste, the shooting and calibre of all 
being the same. Prices, delivered. .’. . $100, $80, $55 
No, 5. — Hunting and Target Bide, Breeoh-hoader, Rim Fire. —For general use up to 
of a mile, for hunting and target shooting, this is a valuable Rifle. The calibre may be 22, 32, 38, or 44 /ioo> 
as desired. Except for larger animals, the 38 calibre is sufficient. Price, 28-inch barrel, delivered_ $22.00 
No. 6.—Revolver, Smoot’s Patent Five Sliot —Length, 6% inches, weight, 10 ounces, calibre 
30. Finished in the best manner. Price, delivered. . $7.50 
No. 7.— Vest-Pocket Pistol.— Full length. 4 inches; weight, 3% ounces: calibre 22. Full nickel 
plated. Single Barrel. Price, delivered. $3.7 5 
A Twenty-Five Dollar Breech-Loaflini Central-Fire Rifle, 
40 Calibre, 50 Grrains, fox* 016.00. 
SHOT GUN, ON THE SAME PRINCIPLE, SINGLE BARREL, $15. 
Both made by one of the best and world-wide known Manufacturers. Both for Military and Sporting pur¬ 
poses. These Rifles have until now sold for twenty-five dollars, hut by a special arrangement we are enabled 
to sell them to our subscribers and patrons at this low figure. They are fully warranted. 
(MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION ) 
These arms possess all the elements of the best breech-loading Rifles. They are very simple of construction, 
and perfectly strong, safe, and durable, while the ease of manipulation in opening and closing the breech, and 
extracting the shell or cartridge cannot be surpassed. They have less “arts titan any other breech-loading Rifle 
in use, and the parts are of such form as to render the arm strong and safe as a Rifle can be made. They have 
short top action, and are symmetrica! in form. The prices are lower than for any other really first-class Rifle in 
the market. We make on this system the Single Barrel Shot Guns, which are considered the best and cheapest 
breech-loading single barrel Shot. Guns in market. Every part of the Gun is made from the best of steel 
or wrought iron, by the most approved machinery and skilful workmen. These guns have been fired 1.490 
successive shots, with no signs of failure of any part. Address, SPORTSMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
