WILKESBARRE HAMMERLESS GUN
This excellent arm has three fastenings; two under bolts locking on a wedge into the under lugs, and a top fastening in the extension rib, which is locked at right angles from the under bolts, and guarantees a gun which will stand a strain of nitro powder. One under lug is cut on a circle and fits close to a cross-piece on the frame which forces the breech against the face of the frame. The lock is very simple and strong. The cocking-rod and lever, working on the principle of a compound lever, cocks the gun easily and without any effort or strain on the fore end. All the lock work is in the frame, thus leaving the stock solid wood and no danger of cracking out or splitting from discharge of heavy loads or escape of gas.
