The Greener Facile Princeps Action .—“Facile 
__ Princeps” is a Latin phrase meaning ‘Easily First/ and no 
^ better name could have been chosen for a gun that has 
been winning the principal shooting events of the World 
for three generations. The ‘Facile Princeps' is easily first 
for strength, reliability and simplicity. The lockwork con¬ 
sists of a hammer, a scear, a lifter and a spring, the weight 
of the barrel cocks the tumbler, everything works smoothly with 
the minimum of friction, and the striker is just a fraction of a 
second quicker in its blow than any other type of mechanism; this 
point alone should be sufficient to ■secure its adoption by the man 
who knows. 
Have you ever calculated how fast a bird travels? If instead of 
being able to pull the trigger (r'.e. fire the cartridge) in I -200th of a 
second, you need 3-100ths of a second, the bird will have flown 16 
inches further. Think this over, it may account 
for some of those 'lost* birds. 
The “Box” action of the “Facile 
Princeps " gun is perfectly watertight, 
yet easily get-at-ab,' * for cleaning pur¬ 
poses, only one screw has to be re¬ 
moved to expose the lock mechanism. 
Look at the drawing, its simplicity 
cannot fail to convince you that the 
“Greener” is the best.
