Has anyone built one of those.22 caliber Gatling guns? I've seen them at the NAMES shows and been on RG-G's web site a while back, but am wondering what it takes to build one and how it works after.

One exhibitor at NAMES had built 2, one being RG-G's design. He said that the other one was 'better', but I have no details as to how it's 'better'. I've also been told that the cam is a bugger to make, but have never looked at the plans at all. Is it possible to scale one of these up to original size? Is CNC equipment required? We have a BridgePort, lathes, rotary tables, etc., but no CNC stuff. Cecil Walker on this forum has built one of them but I can't remember which plan set he used.

Feb 19, 2013. I'm looking for a set of prints for a civil war gatling gun so I can make my own. Does anybody have or know where I could find some? There are some companies that sell prints for scaled down,.22LR and other variants. There may be a company out there that currently sells. 30 Cal Gatling gun Blueprints. Dec 22, 2010. Page 1 of 4 - D&E.22LR 1874 Gatling Gun Build - posted in D&E Specific: Hi. Ive been building a 1/3 scale 1874 gatling gun in.22LR which is based on plans by D&E model drawings and thought Id share my progress. I made a fair few parts when I first started the project a few years back, but a change of.

If you search for his name using the search function you may even be able to find a thread with a picture in it. I met him at Cabin Fever in York but he didn't have the gatling with him. He is a great guy and I'm sure would answer any of your questions if you email him. I think he may be out of town right now but should be back soon.

When I inquired about his gun he actually sent me some pictures. I'm also pretty sure that he doesn't own any cnc equipment so I'm unsure how he built the cam you are talking about. Cecil Walker, definately.He da man!! My buddy was hot to do a Gatling---I was skeptical.looked like might be out of our skill range. Cecil pointed us to: this is the 1917-19 Browning MGs and not so difficult. We have both finished the 1919 version and are waiting on a new plan for a M-2 the guy is making up. We have since got the Gatling plans (D&E) and I think I would feel more comfortable taking on the Gatling now.if we could just find 20 barrels!!!

I see nothing to indicate the need for CNC equip. The 1917-19's were a blast to do, and are really some nice eye candy. Have read the the RG-G design has been simplified from original design to make it slightly easier to build. The other plans are truer to original design. In about 1978 a customer of the shop I worked in was making a.22LR version of the original. He had found a book with original plans of a 45/70 gun. He redrew the plans for the.22.

His only machine tool was an Atlas 6' lathe. He brought the cam in to show me, it was made from two pieces of tubing. The inner sleeve was made to finished ID, the OD was at the depth of the cam grooves. The ID of the outer sleeve matched the OD of the inner piece. John Mayer Where The Light Is Dvd Download Free. After making the inner sleeve he marked out the groove locations, cut the grooves out through the full thickness of the sleeve.

I did not get to see his finished gun, I left that job before he was through with it. He was an electrician that bought the lathe from my employer and taught himself machining.
