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!

Is yours newly manufactured, or an old one? Interesting site for those with inquiries and lust for pictures:

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!
