GUNNER GUMPTION’S 
LANTERN LECTURETTES ON 
GREENER GUNS 
The Greener Facile Princeps Action .—“Facile 
Princeps” is a Latin phrase meaning ‘Easily First/ and no 
K 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 ( Le. 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. itfllllllllllllllllllllil I l Mill if 
The “ Boxaction of the " Facile 
Pnnceps" 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.

If so, go to your Sporting Goods Store or Dealer and ask him to show you any of the 
Stevens Repeating Shotguns. Stevens Shotguns are real Shotguns. They aren’t 
‘’Almost’s” or “Nearly’s”, but are Natural Pointers, that can’t be balked or clogged.
