These guys built a lot of replica western firearms at one time. Revolving rifles were a development phase and never really caught on.

They were imported by Navy Arms and aren't top quality like say Uberti.Latest Blue Book value is $600 /100%.........$475/98%..........$425/95%.................$375/90%.............$325/80%.........$275/70%.....$225/60%..................they have a nasty habit of powder burning the fore arm hand and wrist when fired without long sleeves and a glove.More of a novelty than anything functional.....................can't be loaded too hot as cylinder will bind even with some factory loads rendering it inoperable/jammed.......Harold
