I may be shunned for this but ... I came to REVOLVERS to gab about wheel guns.

Yes, I have long guns ranging from pre revolvutionary to Remingtons but not why I joined here.

Maybe if they were revolving rifles!

Colt had a revolving rifle during the Cival war.

Yep, originally issued to Berdan's Sharp Shooters. They got rid of it as fast as they could.

The only one used with any notariety would be the one shot by "Bull" in the movie "El Dorado".

Colts also made a version as a revolving shotgun I believe.

seems like enough interest for a rifle section

I like guns, I wouldn't argue against a section on anything that went bang.

Nice some one was just talking about one of these the othere day. Is it yours?

[Popeye]

I wish it were mine. I did bid on it. Didn't win though.

[mycar47562]

That sucks heard there very inaccuarate though is that right?

[Popeye]

Yup, but I wasn't planning on shooting it.

The other problem with any revolving rifle is how you hold it. Unless you have leather sleeves your support arm does NOT go to the forearm but rather supports your firing hand somehow. If you grab the forearm the blast from the cylinder gap will bite you and if there is a chain fire it will really bite you.

Easy to see why they were not real popular.

is that like a fire crotch?

[mycar47562]

we need to be more like walmart cater to all range's not just the handgun long guns add a whole new subject that will people going. just because the name is revolver forums doesnt mean we should stick to the small things that go bang

It seems like those of us who like long guns now have a section in which to post so we don't have to hijack other threads!

Thanks Max!

Now I'll have to dig out some of my long guns. My favourite of course a little savage hmr 17 with a leupold 3-9x40mm scope. I can draw smiley faces on targets at 100 yards with this thing. I really do like the acutrigger they have with the adjustable pull.

[mycar47562]

Sounds cool but now you know your gonna have to do that and post some pictures of it

[Max]

I did already. :)
