I have the entire "1873 army report of testing rifle types" report on my computer that I found somewhere on the internet, but I can't find it now with any search engine or where I originally got it.  I would send it, but the pdf file is over 700 pages and is over 48 meg.  Doesn't lend itself to sharing very well.  The original file is good in that it is possible to blow up the page and get a better view of the pieces without loosing resolution.  There are some really interesting rifle actions in there that I have never heard of--Probably because they never came into production.

I must publicly thank Bnelson here for sending me the publication. I normally close my business at 18.00 my time. I was stuck reading it and have just arrived home 3 hours later than usual.    I think I will take it to Xerox and have them do me a bound volume from the pdf that I was sent. Once again thank you Bnelson
