The first Sharps rifle -- awesome

[mongrel]

Here ya go. Some very nice antique artillery to drool over. Not as unusual or rare as the Sharps but still worth looking at.

This'n is from another outfit. Flintlock repeater, anyone? A mid-to-late 17th century design, some of which were made in England prior to (and maybe shortly after) 1700. This one's Turkish. You point the muzzle down and rotate the side lever; out of separate chambers in the "cylinder" ball and then a pre-measured powder charge drop into the breech, and the pan is automatically primed on most models I've seen. This would be a good trick to pull off in our day and age of CNC design and machining; it comes close to boggling the mind that these guns were built to the necessary tolerances entirely by hand.

 Those are a work of art. Would love to have one, but I'm the kind that has to fire one.
