В дополнение информации по оружию экспедиций для уважаемого kiowa-mike из книги: "ACROSS THE ROOF OF THE WORLD A RECORD OF SPORT AND TRAVEL THROUGH KASHMIR, GILGIT, HUNZA, THE PAMIRS, CHINESE TURKISTAN, MONGOLIA AND SIBERIA BY LIEUT.

Then there is the most important matter of arms and ammunition, concerning which a considerable diversity of opinion exists. Not being an authority on the subject I do not propose to do more than state the composition of my own battery. For big game I used a .404 Jeffery-Mauser rifle firing the ordinary soft-nosed split bullets supplied by the makers, a rifle that gave me entire satisfaction, as it combines lightness with great accuracy and striking power. Two rifles are essential in case of accidents, my second being a .303 carbine firing the ordinary sporting bullets made by Kynoch's. A double-barrelled hammerless gun and 750 cartridges for same, made up of 300 No. 6, 200 No. 4, 100 No. 2, 150 Nos. 9 and 12 for small birds, completed my arms and ammunition. For maintaining one's weapons in sound condition, a sufficient quantity of the best rifle oil must be taken, as also pull-throughs, spare gauze for same and flannelette.
