RM2D7RR6F–An old engraving showing various breech-loading firearms of the1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Illustrated are the inside workings of Elliot’s Breech-loader (B-l), The Springfield B-l, Ward Burton B-l, Remington’s B-l, Dodge’s Double-barreled Shotgun, A Swiss Magazine rifle and Winchester’s B-l.
