Revolving Shotgun Built From Scratch

[perfect stranger]

Using chambers cut off 12 ga. scrap barrels and a new $10 bbl for an Italian auto shotgun, the only other gun part is a scrapped hammer from a 1857 Remington perc revolver:

Loads like a SAA Colt but underlever rotates and cocks it. Blow-by is negligible, hardly noticeable with normal shirt sleeve.

Opened for some still shots, at top of the inside pix screwed in is the firing pin, impact type with return spring. The ratchet or star with the hand is visible below on the left side, also the pawl that cocks the hammer. The cylinder indexing lock is external, operated by the under lever. At very bottom the small knob releases the cylinder to turn clockwise for loading.

Due to limited equipment I was unable to copy existing mechanisms so it is pretty much designed from scratch, largely by cut and try, trial and error, etc.

Not sure what to say except, "I want one."

Nice work. Next project, 12 gauge electrically powered minigun.

Looks like one of the new Taurus Judge rifles.

If that cylinder ever fails to line up just right.....

I hope some activist doesn’t decide that the revolver portion of the shotgun constitutes a ‘sawed off’ shotgun.

[ReverendJames]

There was one state, I don’t remember which, or county where someone was using .45cal shot to shoot snakes. They considered it a sawed off shotgun. Liberal idiots.

[cripplecreek]

LOL I had the same thought.

[Dead Corpse]

Wow... Now that looks like fun to shoot. :-)

[Danae]

Ewwwww.... (((shudder)))

[TexasPatriot1]

What, no video?

[Scythian]

Too many moving parts to break, no advantage over a pump that can hold way more shells, cool trinket, but still just a trinket

Or, even better, this:

Now I want to see the belt fed version.

[cripplecreek]

Have you seen the Sons of Guns show on the discovery channel?

[fish hawk]

there already is a revolver shotgun. The Taurus Judge shoots pistol shells and 410 shells. Even sawed off is legal if the barrel is 18 inches or longer.

[devistate one four]

I’ll take two please!

[fish hawk]

Agreed. Nice and not putting it down but not as practical as it first seems. I'd rather have a Taurus Judge 45/410 for up close and personal and any of my shotguns with 00 and slugs alternated for shooting them in the back as they run away sliding in their own feces.

[longtermmemmory]

didn’t they make a pistol shotgun that shot small shotgun shells?

[WOBBLY BOB]

rest assured BATF lawyers working on it now.

this guy may be the next Randy Weaver.
