We need a freaking PICTURE!
This guns sounds VERY interesting.
If anyone here has been near a Gatling, I am guessing like me they would be just as interested.
Guess you can't go to SARCO for spares though!

New ones start at $19,500...........No I didn't pay that . Mine was built by a friend in 1991 and we have put many many rds down range. He made me a deal and Christmas came early. He also now builds Gatling guns...........has 5 in the works but I think they are in the 30 K + range. Too rich for this old retired soldier.

I've always loved these guns, but I knew they were too rich for me. That is a beautiful piece of metal. I am very happy for you!
