Boxer Cartridge Inventor. 1866

Comment:-


“ There is no reason why Ireland should not furnish a succession of crack riflemen to compete at Wimbledon; and we may mention it as a further interesting circumstance that the cartridge known as the Boxer cartridge, which is to be used in the Snider converted rifle, is, according to our information, the invention of a Dublin gunsmith, Mr. Rigby.”
