I declare that I was one of the first to make use of the hinge-action gun by Mr. Lefaucheux, and am so satisfied with it, that it is now impossible for me to use guns of any other system, having recognized in this one the qualities that every hunter would greatly appreciate; durability, lightness, quick and easy loading; more accurate and longer range than that of all other systems known to date.
