Col. Greene's Breech- Loading Carbine

/ The Boston Chronicle publishes the follow.
ing IN relation to the newly-invcnted csrbine
OF Col. Greene, which, it seems, has been HIGH.
y approved of abroad as well as in our own
| country:
FROM documents we give below, it seems to
! be settled that the new arm invented NV Col
J. ID. Greene stands ahead of all others for r,-
putty of action and stability of structure Col
ureene has recently filled an order from the
united States Government, and is now mann.
featuring, at the Massachusetts Arms Comma.
ny WORKS. at ChlcoAae Falls, several thou
Sahd cavalry carblnes for the British Govern
ment. lie has also commenced the manufacture
IN London OF rifles for infantry, which have
been ordered for trial both by the English and
French governments.
Extracts of report of Col IIay, Command
ant of the School of Musketry at Hvtbe. 70
Lord llardinge, Conmander.in-Chiet' of tho
British Army, relative to Col. Greene's car
blnes, October, 1865:
"Threc hundred rounds were fired in en-.
cesslon, to test the working and strength of the
machinery, and TO ascertain if the principle of
the inventor had succeeded in preventing the
escape OF gas, Che weak point hitherto mani
tested IN breech-loadng arms The result of
this experiment was most satisfactory
The last twenty rounds Of the three hundred
were fired to test the celebrity of fire. The
time occupied IN firing was two minutes and
twelve seconds, aifording the strongest proof
that the machinery worked with perfect ease.
Seven rounds were then fired, loading the car
bne with the regulating cartridges at the nnz-
zle, which answered perfectly. There did not
appear to be the slightest escape of gas from
the JUNCTION at the breech; nor did conceive.
from the principle on which the arm il con-
structed, that there can be any. The princi- |
pie adopted TO obVlate the escape of gas, ap-
pears TO be sound and simple. a small thin |
bile of steel is so fitted into the brecch end off
the barrel, that, in the explosion, it acts as |
sort Of valve, being forced back against the
brsech piece, which is secured to The butt-end
of the stock"
