Well this is different: 1860 Army conversion
Just spotted this today while browsing the net and thought it was pretty cool.

Wow. With a barrel that long and a wood forearm I can't see that as being a very practical firearm.
You'd have to use your off hand in front of the cylinder to stabilize it (or shoot from a rest) because of the barrel length, and having your hand in front of a revolver cylinder is pretty much a bad idea. In addition, the wood in the forearm wouldn't last too long when subjected to the environment in front of the cylinder. This gun doesn't appear to have been fired much. |
