There's one of those for sale right now - a rare opportunity to own a famous gun.

Of course it'll run you 30,000 puunds - double that for dollars.

I think you done good there, John, and if you ever want to sell it you can sell it for a fraction of the cost of an original and do real well.

Excellent work. Thanks for showing the insides of the lock too. I never would have suspected that it was different.

Maybe someone remembers the Sharpe series made by the BBC?
Seargent Harper got a volleygun.

Im trying to find out what it was Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) was shooting in the "ALAMO" movie that John Wayne made it looked a lot like this one. Fred :hatsoff:

 

[Doc Arroyo]

You got it right. Widmark's version of Bowie shot a Nock Volley gun.

John, thanks for the pictures of the Lock. I can't make out the sear bar, could you get another picture from a different angle? I just got back to the forum after some time away. Again, thanks.

Yup, seven .50 cal barrels from a common breach, and at 15 grains in each barrel 105 gr. of 3F does pack a wollup.
Several years ago I had the opportunity to fire the gun Kit had built and at 25 yds. the patern opened up about 10 yd. wide!!! Great for clearing an enemy's decks or for repelling boarders.

I've seen the parts for those in the TRS catalog and been facinated ever since. The price tag detered me from owning one...never thought to build one and sell it.
I'm glad to see someone nuttier than me and went ahead and built one! :bow: :bow:

Very nice looking. Aside from the lock, was it a difficult build? How were the barrels from TRS?

I'd like to pack one of those and a wall gun like Roy's on my next Elk trip. :shocked2:
