GREENE GUN
This breech-loading rifle has a fixed chamber closed by a movable breech-block, which slides in the line of the barrel by direct action. This piece has a concealed spiral-spring lock. It is loaded through a mortise cut in the side of the receiver, and is locked by projections on the bolt engaging with corresponding cavities in the receiver. The handle of the breech-bolt is so formed as to lie close to the stock, when turned down and closed. A detachable magazine or pannier made of tin can be Connected with the right side of the receiver, and is worked by canting the gun to the left, and allowing a cartridge to roll into the receiver in front of the bolt, when it is withdrawn to load.
