Just Bill SASS# 16394 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 As most of you know I got my Gatling Gun. It was on a tripod. It just didn't look right sitting on it. A friend of mine had an old large Oak Plank 20 inches wide by 6 inches by 96 inches long. I bought two wooden wheels form a man who sells true Amish Wheels. Here is the result Just Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Very nice work! I like the rails you built to roll it out of the truck. Why not extend that all the way to ground so it lessens the chance of it falling off the side of the ramp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bill SASS# 16394 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 The big problem was my truck bed is only 5 1/2 foot long. The other problem was my brain was fried just figuring out how to get it up on the truck by my self. It may take a month or so to improve the loading system.

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Nice! Were you tempted at all to mount the gun facing rearward? Might keep some tailgaters back a bit...... LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Beautiful work. So when does the new Gatling category begin? Can’t wait to see the stage directions. Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say even the the carriage was a little expensive. The wheels were somewhat reasonable. The Amish build the best wheels. they were only about $250 each.

Yes I think the chambers are needing a little more lube. I recut the chambers to accept the colt bullets. I noticed the chambers don't always fall straight in the receiver. But that is all part of the fun, seeing how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
