You undoubtedly have had some experience with so-called trap-shooting guns which became loose after a 
few thousands or even hundreds rounds. 
SINGLE TRAP-SHOOTING GUN 
“Over and Under” Double Trap Gun 
FRED ADOLPH GUNMAKER GENOA, N. Y. 
Anticorro barrels, automatic ejector, sidelocks with inter¬ 
cepting sears, automatic disappearing sling strap, de luxe en¬ 
graving. 
The gun is locked in the same manner as my single trap 
guns and surpasses by far any European gun of this type, with 
their insufficient bolting-mechanism. 
If you are tired of machine-made guns turned out by the million, if you want a gun showing individuality, 
please write me. It may be possible to realize all or most of your desires. Catalog 15 cents. 
E. C. Crossman says in 
“Field & Stream:” 
My own is a single bar¬ 
rel 'made-to-order arm by 
Fred Adolph, and the bul- 
liest gun that ever a fellow- 
swung after a clay bird. It 
is made with heavy vertical 
locking bolt, running 
through an equally heavy 
extension rib, and two lugs 
engaging in the bottom 
lumps, a locking mechanism 
that will continue to hold 
that gun tight when you 
are handing the others to 
the baby for a rattle. 
The barrel, half-octagon 
at the breech end, is as 
hard as glass and at the 
end of the day shows a sui- 
face as free from lead as 
the new gun in the dealer’s 
rack. It is an example of 
how a carefully made, hand¬ 
made gun handles and 
works. 
In a personal letter he 
says: 
“The gun outclasses by 
seven miles the » * * * 
tribe, is not to be spoken 
of in the same breath as 
the shoddy * * * * 1 
have seen and is ahead of 
the *-**-, the best of 
the imported singles. 
“The engraving is ex¬ 
quisite, the gun balances to 
equal any gun of any price 
I ever saw, apparently los¬ 
ing ounces in weight through 
this perfection of hanging 
and it shoots like a dream. 
Patterning the gun showed 
it to average 77 per cent, 
with 3 drams of Du Pont 
and the standard 1% ounce 
of 7}4 shot.”
