It is the latest gun out and the manufacturers claim for it the highest degree of perfection in gun making. It In the result of years of experience of one of the most practical gun men In the world.
It is simple in parts, strong in action, safe to use, powerful in shooting quality, will not get out of order, miss fire or shoot loose. The stock is solid and cannot be blown out. The frame is strong and not cut away for lock work. With the improved circular locking bolt of the Baltimore gun the barrels are always held tightly to the frame and cannot be shot loose by the use of nitro powder. The cocking bolt is new and simple, allowing the gun to be cocked without any special effort.
The cocking bolt comes in direct contact with the hammers and the weight of the barrels almost cock the gun. The main springs act directly on the hammers, which have a throw of 5/8 of an inch, all of which positively prevent miss fires.
The outline, balance, finish and working of the Baltimore hammerless is all that could be desired. All of the guns are bored full choke for close, hard shooting, and on a principle which guarantees the highest velocity with even distribution of pellets.
The guns are now produced in three grades, being made with best English Stub twist barrels, choke bore. English walnut stock, half pistol grip, checkered and well finished; 28, 30 and 32 inch barrels. $35.
