Has anyone built a Gatling Gun

Hi guys, I've been looking at the plans in the back of my latest issue of Home Shop Machinist to build a scaled down 22 rimfire gatling gun. I was just wondering if anybody on TFL has messed around with one of these. Might be fun to actually build the thing full scale for 45-70 or 50-70, heck, all it would take is time. Besides, my piles of work-in-progress projects are starting to diminish on my workbench.

Alex, you are the 2nd person to ask about that today. I had a customer come in this afternoon to drop of a rifle and was asking where he could find the plans for one. He read about it somewhere other than Home Shop Machinists but I'll pass that along to him. Thanks. In answer to your question it sounds interesting but I have never built one. George
