Lefaure, Arquebusier, à Paris – Testimonial

Description

For the past two years that I have been manufacturing the so-called Lefaucheux hinge-action gun, I declare that this gun is still the only one that offers as much sturdiness, combining a simple and easy manufacture with all the advantages that all rear-loading guns have. I have several in commerce and among hunters who make extensive use of them. I see nothing that goes out of order in this gun more than in the piston gun. The flash hole is preserved from wear by the cartridge casing; and the connection of the barrel with the breech piece is equally guaranteed by the base. As a result, and experience has proven it, this gun will last at least as long as the piston gun that loads with a ramrod.
