a 
The Greener Treble Wedge Fast Action .— 
|= Many methods of uniting the top of the stand¬ 
ing Breech and upper portion of the gun barrels 
have been introduced, but none are so strong and 
thorough as the Greener Treble Wedge Fast Cross 
Bolt, which has been proved by actual experiment 
to add enormously to the safety and wear of a gun. 
At the famous London Field explosive trials of 1878 , 
a special experimental gun was prepared by the editor of the 
Field, and the followingextracts from his report are a remark¬ 
able testimony to the strength and efficiency of this device. 
“to this action we had a little apparatus fixed as shown in this sketch, 
by this arrangement a piece of silver paper can be strained between the 
hook and the screw clip, attached to the barrels so that when any sepa¬ 
ration takes place during an explosion the paper breaks. We found 
that in Mr Greener’s action no breakage occurred, 
using any charge of powder which the cartridge 
case could be made to hold with the bolt 
m position the paper remained intact up to 
the last “ 
In these experiments a charge of 
65 grains of Schultze powder and 
2 ounces of -shot was used with¬ 
out causing the breech to “give’' 
m the slightest degree 
See that your new gun carries the Greener 
guarantee—Life-long satisfaction.

capturing each, the guns, ammunition, loads, decoys and boats
