 !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

This is a a beautiful 1/3 scale Gatling Gun Model of 1893 police or bulldog chambered in caliber .22 short rim fire with the Accles 64 round drum magazine.  This was made by the renown Karl Furr in Utah in the 1970's.  This Gatling stands 19 1/4" tall with the magazine in place.  The Barrel group is 10 13/16" long not counting the crank handle or bolt access plug.  Made from beautifully polished yellow brass with six rifled steel barrels and steel internal working parts.  Solid brass tripod mount is adjustable for both elevation and traverse.  Serial # 70.  Fully functional and shoot-able.  Unlike most Gatling guns, the police or bulldog model had the crank handle on the rear instead of on the left side.  Condition is near mint only missing the brass wire carry handle for the top of the magazine which is easily replaced.  Seldom seen or offered for sale.  The Furr Gatlings are far and away the best on the market and are the Rolls Royce of miniature Gatling guns.

This is a rare and a wonderful 1/2 scale 1876 Gatling carriage gun made by Douglas Furr, son of Karl Furr, in Orem, Utah.   It is one of only 14 ever made, and is serial number 8.  The 10 blued barrels are hexagon on the muzzle ends, 14 3/4" long, and chambered in .22 long rifle.  The magazine is a  240 round Broadwell drum.  The 22" diameter wheels have brass hubs and rims with blue hardware.  All wood carriage and wheel parts made of beautiful American black walnut.  Most of the balance of the gun is made from yellow brass, and most of the hardware is blued steel.  The gun is in good condition.  There are some marks on some of the barrels, probably form inadequate packing during shipping, other than that, the gun shows only normal aged patina of the brass.  Fully functional and shooting, the rate of fire on one of these is supposed to be 800 rounds per minute.  I can tell you from experience that with a little practice, the 240 round magazine can be emptied in about 23 seconds.  These guns work like a fine Swiss watch!  Must be delivered to a FFL dealer.

!!!!!Now includes an extra Accles drum magazine, serial # 12.  Didn't come with this gun, but it fits & works properly!!!!! 

This is a great 1/3 scale  Model 1883 Gatling gun on a brass field cariage made by the reknown Karl Furr of Orem, Utah.  Chambered in .22 short rimfire, this actually shoots and will fire up to 800 rounds per minute.  Must be sent to an FFL dealer.  64 round Accles drum magazine.  18" diameter wheels with black walnut spokes, brass hubs, and brass tires.  Serial # 23.  The barrel group measures 18 1/2" long not counting the tiller handle.  10 .22 caliber rifled barrels enclosed in a brass casing.  The rear of the barrel group has two spirit levels for leveling the gun.  This is not classed as a class III machinegun. If you can own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, you can legally own this masterpiece in most states!  There is a crease dent in the barrel housing jacket on the right side near the muzzle, see photo 3, but it does not affect the operation of the gun.  The crank handle, magazine handle bracket, and wire magazine handle are perfect replacements I had made.  The brass has not been polished in years and has a nice mellow mustard color.  The bottom rear of the barrel group marked in engraving pencil "Made by Karl Furr and Paul Kuhni Orem, Utah Jan. 1971", so it's 40 years old.  Sorry the photos are a little dark.  My lighting set-up is not geared for taking photos of something this large, so it's difficult to get enough light.  Additional photos on request, just let me know what it is you need to see better.  Priced for quick sale!
