Contract	for

Product
Submitted a breech-loading rifle to the U.S. Army 1872 trials. To open, draw back the firing pin by its handle until the spiral mainspring is cocked. The breech block may then be thrown forward and upward until it strikes the receiver, in which position it is supported by a catch. An interesting individuality is a rotating extractor which by accelarated motion ejects an empty shell violently upward.
