Now, on reinoviriij tlic spring-cramp, the lock is ready to have the hammer placed on the tumbler. (6) To do this, place the lock on a wooden block, and drive the hammer on to the scjuare shoulder of the journal of the tumbler; then put in the .screw that binds the hammer firmly to the tumbler. We have given a description of a breech-loader with hammers in referring to Mr. W. W. Greener's table-bolt and extension-rib gun. As type of hammerless guns, we select this of Mr. Sneider, of Haltimore. The accompanying figures and appended descriptions will show- clearly the peculiarities of this gun. The safety action is excellent. By the forward rotation of the milled wheel in the end of the top lever, a bolt is put on the sears and holds them so effectually that no pull on the trigger or jar to the gun can set them free of the catches in the hammer-carrier, and there is no necessity of setting free the sears till the instant of firing. The gun is held " ready " with the index-finger under the guard and the ball of the thumb on the safet) - wheel. At the moment the bird rises the gun is thrown against the shoulder, and with this motion the thumb can naturally rotate the safety-wheel backward and take off the lock on the sears. This movement is soon ac(|uired by the sportsman, and when it becomes automatic to him it adds greatly to his assurance of safety from accidents. This represents the breech and part of the fore-end of the Sneider hammerless gun ; also the lock with lock-plate. 1; ,.'f.
