Multi Barrel Pistol

[Coffinmaker]

I posted this on the USFA thread too, but does anybody remember a USFA (it think) multi barrel (6) SA based hand gun??  Looked a lot like an SA based Pepperbox.  Strange looking gun.  Would however, make a swell Steampunk piece.

Yep.
I sent the question everywhere sort of like a shotgun.  Figured someone might remember it.

   Greetings!

   I don't know if you fellows recall, but in the 70's, a company named Garcia marketed a Spanish made double-action .22 Pepperbox designed to shoot .22 airgun pellets with a charge of BP and percussion caps, and had an optional Gold or Silver finish.
   Well, in the 80's/90's (?), Dixie Gun Works got ahold of a few, and sold them for $60 or so, and I bought three: one for Dad, one to shoot, and one to squirrel away. I haven't shot one yet, but I did remove the sideplate, and it sure looks like your typical "Pepperbox" mechanism. They came with a combo Rammer / Powder scoop (chopped .380 case!), the ubiquitous Red DGW "USE BP ONLY" Safety Card, and a 5"X3.25" Instruction Card with English and Spanish on opposing sides. I thought you all would enjoy seeing it, as it is a reasonably accurate replica of a "Pepperbox". Sort of 'Cute', too!

        Be Well!

Photobucket is the only way I've been able to post photos here.

If you have the photo in a file on yer 'puter, you can post it here by clicking on "additional options" at the bottom of the page when you write a post, then click on "browse" which opens a file you can use to find the file on yer 'puter, then attach the file and click on "post". It's prety easy but ya gotta think a bit.

   Yep, I saw that, and tried it. I think that the problem lies with the "400KB Maximum Size". I'll try once more; if that fails, I found an image on google that might work...

          Be Well!

Do you mean this:

Seth,
Yep.  That was it.  Pietta made them and EMF floated them to see if they would fly.  No intrest so they (EMF & Pietta) just let the idea die and sold off the few they made.  Drat.
Now, it was a bit of an impossable quest, as for the "wild hair" i was in persuit of, I needed two.  Oh well.  I did find a suitable substitute (Sears Catalogue quote).
This, coming seaason is going to be FUN!!!
