Rotary Round Action Rifle

Just something I stumbled across on YouTube. There's not enough info in those few seconds of video, but if it's real, it looks interesting and pretty. @p_ham you interested in a little project?

That rifle costs more than a lot of people's cars.

That rifle costs more than a lot of people's cars.

Or more than some pieces of machinery, like a CNC mill as an example.

This is a moment of asking “why”?

Sure, it “might” be a bit stronger of an action than a traditional double break action…but does it need to be “more” than what is needed for a .470 Nitro?

Because he can. It is a pretty fascinating action, if you ask me.

I had to look that up. This video gives a little more detail.

I have no issues at all with the “because I can” argument.

The drawback to this action is that it would be really bulky for something like a 12 gauge.

Beautiful gun. I can’t imagine what that would cost.

I saw one for sale once. I do not recall what the price was, but it was scary.

George phoned me a number of years back knowing I had some 28 ga O/Us. He came over to take measurments of everything and went on to produce some in 28.
One of the most unique firearms you'd ever lay your hands upon.

I may be misremembering but I think he made some in 20 gauge as well. Owning one would be truly awesome. Have you any idea how many were made considering all calibers and gauges? Dozens or hundreds? I cannot imagine he made a 1000 of them, but I have no idea.

Yes he made some in 20 as well. I think George and Owen only produced 70 or 80 guns. Works of art.
