Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

This is just a test to see if I'm capable of posting a picture, I'm old so bare with me.

Here's another one. This is a complete restoration I did some years ago, .22LR.

No the gatling belongs to my former Boss. It had been stored for 30 yrs and needed refinishing/restoring.
I do know that if you were to remove the crank and attach a cordless drill it would empty the magazine REAL quick.
At the Bosses request I turned off the firing pins and showed her where to turn them back on, I doubt she'll ever fire it. She just wanted to display it in a case in the living room. Complete that thing weighs 72 pounds. Only 2 were made, and hers is #2. Machining was top of the line work, couple of friends and figured about 600 Hrs of machining. And that was built before CNC machines. Fun job, but a real Chinese puzzle to take apart.
