GREENER GUNS 
>’ The Greener Treble Wedge Fast Action .— 
s? 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 following extracts 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 
thai 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 
in 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” 
in the slightest degree 
See that your new gun carries the Greener 
guarantee—Li fe-long satisfaction.

A LIGHTNING TRY-OUT 
This is the story of Mr. N. E. Buckwalter who proved two interesting points at Royersford, 
Pa., on the third day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eleven. 
By making a score of 92% from the 20 yard line (targets being thrown 60 yards) he proved 
that he was a mighty good shot. 
And in making this remarkable score while trying out a new Stevens Repeating Shotgun 
he proved the Natural Pointing qualities of this perfect Repeater. 
This is the Stevens No. 520 
Then he tried his hand at the 12 pairs of doubles—and broke 21. To break 21 out of 24 
targets shot at in pairs would certainly indicate that the Stevens Repeating Shotgun is designed 
with a repeating mechanism that is second only to fork lightning. 
Mr. Buckwalter must be pretty quick at pumping the gun. But neither he nor anyone else 
can pump the Stevens so fast that they can balk it. It is Non-balkable, Non-cloggable and 
Natural Pointing. What more can you ask ?
