mrmackc Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I wonder if the gun is available for pickup at their Abilene stores? Maybe we could put together a incorporated 20 members shooting club and have the Gatling gun as our crew- served piece? Of course 98 could be our 45-70 team leader.

Sisco Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) We will definitely need to get a Dillon progressive press and a volume discount on primers, cases, powder, and bullets. 1 hour ago, mrmackc said: I wonder if the gun is available for pickup at their Abilene stores?

planeflyer21 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ya know, a gatling gun like that in .45-70 may be an idea for something like a group elk hunt. Pool everyone together with cow tags, find a herd, draw straws for who shoots first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 It would be a hoot if we fitted those 10 barrels with suppressors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 We need to replace the hànd crank with and electric motor and a car battery ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 If left in original condition, couldn't this gun be classified as a Curio, or relic due to it's age of manufacturing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 It transfers as a regular rifle. Guessing it would clog a supressor within seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about building one then connecting it to the output shaft of a 3-HP edger engine. No telling how trouble I'd get in to with ATF for doing something like that.

jtallen83 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) ATF rule 2004-5 " ATF and its predecessor agency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), have historically held that the original, crank-operated Gatling Gun, and replicas thereof, are not automatic firearms or machineguns as defined. See Rev. Rul. 55-528, 1955-2 C.B. 482. The original Gatling Gun is a rapid-firing, hand-operated weapon. The rate of fire is regulated by the rapidity of the hand cranking movement, manually controlled by the operator. It is not a "machinegun" as that term is defined in 26 U.S.C. 5845(b) because it is not a weapon that fires automatically." No hand crank, instant felon. This is why that funky little crank that clamps on your trigger guard is ok with the ATF, although many states such as Iowa have banned that even.

planeflyer21 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I don't read where the handcrank can't be attached to a chain ring, like a pedal arm on a bicycle. No telling what sort of spinney turney thing is on the other end of that chain. 4 hours ago, Sisco said: It transfers as a regular rifle. Guessing it would clog a supressor within seconds.

98Z5V Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) After buying new brass at $1.04 per (Hornady box of 50 new, unprimed is $52), with a cyclic rate off 800 rounds per minute... I'd need an initial investment in $832 just for brass. I can reload 45-70 for about 70 cents per round. That gonna cost me $560.00 per minute to play with... I don't even think Ron's MRAD costs that much to shoot... Edited December 12, 2016 by 98Z5V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Nope. I think that has the MRAD beat hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
