I MAKE the year 18G3 the starting point for two reasons :- 1. Because it was just the close of the muzzle-loading pcriod. 2. Because it was in that year that I became personally acquainted with the Service rifle, since which time I have continually kept up my acquaintancewith thcService small-arms, making all kinds of experirncnts; and for the last sixteen years my duty has been to inspect and tcst the various arms during their mannractnre, after they are finished before issue, and again when in use in the hands of the troops.

  • IN the GUNROOM THOMAS BOSS PERCUSSION BALL and SHOT GUN Donald Dallas When It Arrived on the Holts Premises, I Was Immediately S
    IN THE GUNROOM THOMAS BOSS PERCUSSION BALL AND SHOT GUN Donald Dallas When it arrived on the Holts premises, I was immediately struck by its condition. For a percussion gun built in 1854, this Thomas Boss gun was in excellent original condition. The stock was crisp, there were traces of colour hardening upon the locks and the whole gun looked like it had seen very little use. However when I picked it up I was struck by how heavy it was, far heavier than you would expect from a normal percussion gun. Then I spotted a patch box in the butt – unusual – then I spotted a rear sight on the top rib – unusual. I glanced at the bore – smooth bore – and for a few moments I was confused. What was it? The one factor that makes a Boss gun stand out from all their contemporaries is their consistent quality. From Thomas Boss’s early ventures in the 1820s right up to the present day without exception, Boss have built one class of gun only, the best. Their motto “builder of best guns only” is entirely apt. This gun, no. 1360, a 15 bore percussion gun is of the usual Boss quality coming out of the workshop at 73 St James’s Street in the year 1854. But what is it? I looked up the Boss records regarding the gun and they were quite confusing as they were rambling and included a lot of details about the original buyer trading in a pair of Mantons and so on. But amongst this were the details of this gun.

Our father had done some shooting in his youth and passed the interest on to us. From time to time Steve would bring home things that only served to stoke the fires of my curiosity. An empty dark green pasteboard box that once held Director Of Civilian Marksmanship issued Remington Kleenbore, a few expended cartridge cases, or a tattered target were like trash to some, but to me they were the wonders of Aladdin's cave. The real treasure was the tattered copies of The American Rifleman Magazine that Coach George Gregory would allow members to check out for a few days. After reading it, my brother would allow me a look. I recall having to do his turn at raking leaves, taking out the trash, and other household chores to earn the right to peek between the pages. I was even roundly thrashed after he discovered a glob of peanut butter and jelly that had escaped from my afternoon snack to sully the pages of the magazine, or at least that was the excuse he used for that particular beating.
