" BROOKLYN, N. Y. Messrs. MERRILL, THOMAS & Co. Baltimore, Md. GENTLEMEN : In testing the qualities of the " Merrill Breech-Loading Rifle, " by firing my sectional bullets, my expectations are more than realized. Your rifle makes better hitting, and at a longer range, and with less powder, than any arm I have ever used, either muzzle or breech-loading. My sectional bullet weighs 700 grains, and your carbine fires them with 40 grains of powder, of the regulation grade, a result which I have neve...r been able to accomplish with any other arm. The objection I have heretofore had to breech-loading arms is overcome by the use of yours, for there is no escape of gas at the breech, and the adjustment is simple and perfect, which is a valuable consideration to the soldier and also sportsman. It is not so much trouble to keep your breech-loader in order as it is the muzzle-loaders. Being satisfied by actual demonstration that your breech- loading rifle possesses all the qualities to make it good, and efficient for the different purposes for which arms are used, I can cheerfully recommend it to the public.
