REMINGTON THREE-BARRELLED RIFLE
This arm, designed by Mr. G. R. Remington, has a fixed chamber closed by a movable breech-block, which rotates about a horizontal axis at 90 degrees to the axis of the barrel, lying below the axis of the barrel and in front. The locks complete are contained in the breech-block, which being lowered out of the way by the tang on its lower end, permits the insertion of the cartridges into the chambers through a perforated extractor plate. This plate being moved by the arm on the pivot of the breech block, withdraws the empty shells when the block is fully opened. A weak spring-catch in the stock holds up the tang of the breechblock when the piece is closed, and affords the only means of locking it.
