GUNNER GUMPTION’S 
LANTERN LECTURETTES ON 
GREENER GUNS 
Q 
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 
(or three generations. The 'Facile Princeps’ is easily first 
for strength, reliability and simplicity. The loclcwork 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 tnan 
who knows. 
Have you ever calculated how fast a bird travels? If instead of 
being able to pull the trigger (/. e. fire the cartridge) in I -200th of a 
second, you need 3-l00ths of a second, the bird will have flown 16 
inches further. Think this over, it may account 
for some of those 'lost' birds. «fllfll/fljllllllf ll/lll III bJ 
The 'Box ’ action of the "Facile 
Princeps ’ gun is perfectly watertight, 
yet easily get-at-ab'e 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.

No single gunner, however wide his experience, has him¬ 
self covered the whole broad field of duck shooting, and none 
knows so much about the sport that there is nothing left for 
him to learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount of novel 
information by reading this complete and most interesting 
book. It describes, with a portrait, every species of duck, 
goose and swan known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, loads, de¬ 
coys and boats used in the sport, and gives the best account 
ever published of the retrieving Chesapeake Bay Dog. 
About 6oo pages, 58 portraits of fowl. 8 full-page plates, 
and many vignette head and tail pieces by Wilmot Townsend.
