NOTE: This item is offered with a low Starting Bid with no further reserve! A reproduction of the famous M1862 Gatling Gun invented by Dr. Richard Gatling, this Gatling gun is fixed on a full size 2 wheel cart. This Gatling gun follows in the footsteps of the original being a .58 caliber black powder gun with a cast brass/bronze receiver, crank, barrel fitting, and front sight. The original 1862 Gatling gun made its combat debut during the Civil War where the Union would utilize them during the Siege of Petersburg. The Gatling gun would be officially adopted after the Civil War and stay in American service until after the Spanish-American War. The gun mount features a screw with turn wheel to adjust elevation and a swiveling mount held fast by a brass pin. Gun mount is a steel square bolted to the brackets for the carriage. Green painted oak timbers have a few splits in the wood. The oak wheels have metal strips on edges to take the brunt of any impact. Black painted metal on carriage has a few minor paint chips on the handles at the rear. Steel strips show signs of use with some surface rust present. The gun itself has some very minor wear to finish. Steel rifled barrels have a black powder coat finish that is in fine condition with the exception of minor pitting at the muzzles of 2 barrels. Bronze retains its shiny luster with the plate atop the rear of the gun denoting model, manufacturer, and serial number. Some minor loss of black paint present on model plate. The .58 caliber bores are mirror bright and shiny with sharp, strong rifling. Some minor surface rust present on elevation screw and some tarnishing present inside hopper well. Brass screw slots are undamaged. One 20 round magazine present in the gun with some minor wear to black paint. This gun comes with a reloading press, a transportation crate with a serial number of 0051, a tackle box with ~197 reusable steel chambers for .58 caliber, and a crate containing 4 20 round magazines for the gun. An undeniable highlight to any firearm collection and a great opportunity to own a live firing, fully functional Gatling gun! Modern firearm, will require FFL.
