does perfect work. It has the simplest and 
strongest repeating mechanism. It can’t freeze 
or clog up in service, for the solid top and closed- 
in breech keep out rain and all other foreign matter. 
The automatic, recoil-operated' hang-fire safety lock, the 
ejection and double extractors are further features of safety and 
venience. The full choke guns shoot close and hard, and are un¬ 
equalled for ducks, geese, foxes and all long-range work. 
The new take-down construction is very simple, quick and efficient. 
You can take the gun.apart in 10 seconds anywhere, yet the threads 
of barrel and frame are not cm away or weakened and the joint 
is always as strong and rigid as in a solid gun.
