& & FINISH, With regards to finish we ofly ask that you carefully examine this gun along side any gun manufa tured either in this sountry or anyother & you will be able to determinu whether or not it is properly fitted & finished, You will appreciate the amount of painstaking hand work that goes into the gun when you stop to closely scrutinise the various points, joining of the wood on the metal, All the barrels with the »raech or frame, woodwork & the the contact of Notice the work, Inspect hand You will be unable to find the most minute space between the two parts at any soint, Fitting is done entirely with files by hand, A enoking cil lamp is used to smoke the surface of that part of the vcarrel being fit & the job is not considered finished until the carbon shows on the entire surface to which it isa being fit, It may have to be taken apart & put together a hundred surfaces two the but times omst contact & taking off too mach metal is consifered even on too much, The same method & care is used in into position, together with the locking bolt, & so gach throughout other worse practice Shan leaving fitting the barrel lugs the hinge, the top lever rorth, It is true that the parts 4o not move freely, Hace piece being fitted so that it touches thoughout ite entire bearing surfec?:, requires a thin film of o11 & even then it will be noted that thera is 2 smocth even drag, fhe greatest ekill possible to obtagn is used in eo fitting the parts that the gun will not “shoot loose, It would he very mach encier to fit the parts so thet they would snap home vith exsc, sut it would not be so good, Another difference between & highly finished gun & one that is not, Notice the wide bolt locking with its Jong slopes gredual & snug slone it would have been easier to make & fit a bolt with a Budden from good, so bean have not would it but practice, ing to ordinary the standpoint strength or durability, Tit, accordeither in opening or closing the gun you will observe the cmeeth even ection, fhis is due to the careful fitting aforementioned & alse to the design #the mechanical operations, Instesd of beth harmers & ejectcrs being cocked on the clomigg of gun, the the hammers sre cocked as epened & the ejectors are cocked as the gun is closed, This with the long well designed cocking levers accounts for the action of either the opering or closing operation, You will not find that the working parts operate without the is gun 6 tekken together smocth even friction, You will find that the friction is caused ty the bearing surfaces contact~ing each other at all points, There are no high spots to ware down with use, with the resultant loose action, The gun will neither onen cr clese freely without friction, The tov lever & locking belt will not snean home without friction, Freedom of action may be found ic the cheapest guns of today but not in this one, Observe both the design & the workmanship of the efectors, The ejector hammers are cocked through the medium of a slidahls piece which is independent of that portion of the eje tor mechaniam which engages the shell, Aside from being more mechanical, the sdvantage is aposrent as neither the ejector nor the head of the shell comes in contact with the stamhling breech to oreate friction & ware, The ejector springs are aleo novel,being wn c¥ gol med free from breagage or ware, In testing the ejectors with sheiis you wil find both oversate tozeth | gether & that the hammer before tne @jectors let go» in order %o AVO1d premature S Cock firi ng « just
