Imnroyement in Gun Making.

,rho small arms now made at HarPers-
Ferry and Springfield, for the use oil me
limited States, are constructed win such
exact similarity in their several paris NAV
a nerfect gun Can be made out OF any
number of parts from both armorles' and
The fitting will be so perfect thai the pie
ces from each armory cannot be dlsln-
puished Que from another. This has been
proved by an examination recently made
at the Harpers. Ferry Armory, under the
immediate and personal direction OF Col.
II. r. Kraig. Chief of Ordnance, land con-
Quoted by Maj. P. V. Hagner of the Ord
nance department, assisted by Messrs.
Byington, and Allen, Master Armorers
of the two Armories. Guns from both
armories were introduced, and every IN
terchange of pieces that ingenuity could
devise was resorled to, and in every case
the fitting was exact and complete. This
system of constructing small arms will to-
tally dispose wilh1be necessity of having
corps of armorers constantly in the field
to repair and fit new limbs TO broken
arms. They can Immediately draw from
the store keeper the part, or parts requlr-
ed, screw them on and the arm is again
ready for use.
And out of dozen broken arms, by
this system 10 or | | good guns may be
made, if each gun had different break
age. The examination here alluded 10,
a correspondent of the Martinsburg Re.
publican states, has resulted highly 10 the
character Of The Harpers-Ferry Armory,
and the credit of the officers, connected
there with and TO the active and intelli-
gent superintendent, II. w. Glove, Esq,
who took charge of the Armory in Janu-
airy, 1855, under adverse circumstances.
The skill and intelligence directed upon
the operations Of this establishment, pre-
sents the armory, at this place, in state
of material efficiency unknown TO it be-
fore, and not surpassed by any manufac-
turing establishment in this or any other
country.
