Sig Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 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!

Bisley45 Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Pictures!!!! LOTS OF GOOD QUALITY PICTURES!!!! please; very neat toy. Would be hell on whatever is down range, 230 grain punkins out of an L do serious damage, 405 grain flat points " Unleash the Dogs of War!" sorry, had to say it.

LIONHART Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 VERY NICE! Another Gun that I wished belonged to me..With that said, what did it set you back, if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyjim Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 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.

Sgt Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
