"auto loader" flint lock?????
In his book, Jubal Sackett, L'amour describes a flint lock pistol that is reloaded by pointing the barrel down and turning a lever on the handle. At the turn of the handle a ball and powder charge drops into the chamber and the flash pan is also refilled. The handle hold 12 loads. In terms of geography, weapons, and cultural practices most of L'amour's work is historically accurate. Does this kind of gun exist?
