The be rrel of a rifle has, running the length

Title- oe grooved gun. One object of a rifle

is lost.; - • . , . : • .

The 'great object therefore to be 'obtained,
is a perfeet fit to the barrel by the ball,: thus
to give the rotary Motion. and to stfve the I
powdiir.

-;. • • •
- Ar, reneli gunsMith invented a rifle which ,!
had its qeeCh pin project wedge shaped,' a
'bout two inches into the barrel: The ball,.a
conical„ shaped one, was then
.dropßed into
the barrel, and a few heitvly blows by 'Abe
mannerroVe the_ wedge or'pin into the ball

so as tO il the grooves in- the barrel. '
-Tlfe. i
i l
nie ball, now so famous, is -an ini r
