and rotated the cylinder into firing position.
Most were made in .44 caliber. Some .60 caliber shotguns were produced also.There were a number of different types of revolving rifles produced around this time. The biggest reason they
did not last was ... the Volcanic rifle and it's offspring! Attached Thumbnails
Savage Revolving Rifle Savage Revolving Rifle
41 Cal
Serial #: 1 Manufacturer: SavageModel: Revolving Type: Rifle
Barrel Length: 24 inch part octagon
Finish: blue Stock: walnutDescription: These rifles are known by many names. They were made under the 1 June, 1852 patent of Henry S.
North and Chauncy D. Skinner, so they are sometimes called "North & Skinner". They were made by the firm
of North & Savage (same North with Edward S. Savage) and are sometimes called by that name. The latter firm
became Savage Revolving Firearms Co. so they are most often simply called "Savage". The action of theseearly revolving rifles is more complicated than the later revolvers. There is a wedge behind the cylinder. When
the lever below the cylinder is pulled down, it also pulls the wedge down and allows the spring around the
cylinder pin to push the cylinder away from the barrel, disengaging the protruding mouth of the chambers from
the barrel. When it is loose, a tooth on the wedge engages the track on the back of the cylinder causing it to turnto the next chamber. A link fastened to the lever behind the wedge cocks the hammer. When the lever is
returned, the wedge forces it tight against the rear of the barrel. There are no external marks visible except the
number "1" stamped on top of the receiver at the barrel junction. Vestiges of the address are barely visible infront of the rear sight. An assembly number "240" appears on the cylinder, cylinder pin, the bottom of the barrel
under the cylinder pin, wedge, lever, buttplate, hammer, and right side plate internally. It also appears on the
rear sight leaf but the 4 is stamped upside down. The number 114 appears on the right side of the lever andcocking link,195 on the left side plate and 69 on the trigger. The trigger and hammer both have two pivot holes
so they can be assembled on another frame or frames. The different assembly numbers indicate a cleanup of
factory parts or a period factory repair. The cylinder pin wedge, which goes into the slot to the rear of the recoil
shield, is missing. The left wood to side plate screw, trigger spring, and trigger spring screw are also missing.
The round brass patch box is mounted on the left side of the butt stock instead of the right where it is normallyfound. The buttplate is iron. Only a few hundred of these were made. Attached Thumbnails

http://www.roperld.com/ropersylvester.htmSylvester Ropers Steam Automobile, 1860s
Sylvester Roper was an early automobile designer in America. His cars were steam powered, and he made a
steam motorcycle which had to be the first motorcycle ever made, and a steam powered buggy, or automobile as
they were called later.
Roper was a prolific inventor, and patented many versions of his vehicles, as well as the first repeating cartridgeshotgun.
On 10 April 1866, Sylvester Roper of Roxbury, Mass patented a shotgun (53881) with a bolt mechanism and arevolving cylinder magazine. Cocking the hammer withdrew the breech bolt, extracting a spent cartridge form
the barrel as it did so. When the hammer had been retracted, a magazine spring revolved a new cartridge into
line with the chamber, pulling the trigger released the bolt to fly forward and fire the chambered round in a'slam bang' motion.
To reduce the shock, the hammer could be lowered onto the chamber and then pulled back to an intermediate
position from which the cap on the cartridge-base nipple could be fired without partially extracting the case.Made originally in 16 and (later) in 12 bore by the Roper Repeating Rifle Company of Amherst Mass, the
shotgun was a minor success. Most examples had a detachable choke patented in July 1868 (79861).The Roper

Spencer and Charles Billings. Production of .40 rifles and 12 bore shotguns continued into the early 1870s butnever in sufficient quantity to make any real impact. Attached Thumbnails

If only he could have sold them Joe Vincent MeigsThis is an incredible rare MEIGS .50 calibre magazine rifle cartridge with a 50 round magazine.
Only three ever produced and this is serial 2.
One was kept by the descendants of the inventor and is now in a major collection in the US. The second is
located at the Cody museum in the US. Donated by the army who received one from Meigs to be test fired.This unique prototype 50-shot breech-loading rifle, only three in existence, was invented by Joe vincent
Meigs(1840-1907) under U.S. patent N 54934, issued may 22, 1866.

Automatics?
on:February 23, 2010, 04:29:30 AM
I saw a Cowboy action event on the TV and they were shootin Colt autos. Have they been drinkin cactus juice?
By what stretch is that a cowboy gun? I admit I am just a spectator. Early Lugers were in use then, so were
machine guns. New Service Colts and S&W model 10s were very popular double actions. Havin fun is the object
so it must be ok. It just seems odd.

What you probably saw was a "Wild Bunch" side match. Occassionally a local club will put one of these on. It is
not part of the main match and is not scored as such.

The OP brings up an interesting idea. There were many guns in use (some more commonly used than others)
during the 19th century. Particularly toward the end. Lugers, Borchardt (sp?) and Broomhandles would all fall
outside the scope of what cowboy action shooting is. They all, none the less, have a place in history that shouldbe preserved. Given that the SASS is bearing the flag better than anybody as far as keeping the '..thrilling days
of yester-year' alive, they would be a likely place to see some sort of antique shooting sport that encompases
those sorts of guns. For all I know, there may be Boer War type events in South Africa, but if so I've never
heard of it. Reenactments, probaly. Competative events with period guns, that I don't know.
The balistics of a 30 Mauser C96 pistol and the horrable ergonomics would make it completely incompatable
with a SASS 3 gun event, but I for one would love to see some sort of event where those and other oddities
could be in action. I doubt that even if such a sport emerged that it would gain the popularity of the Old West
events. That period and the popular notions of it are so carved into the public perception from generations of
film and TV. We probably wouldn't see dozens of companies offering clones of the Broomhandle or Borchardt
like we see the single action Colt clones, but it may be of interest to enough people to keep it alive as a game.

The SASS "Wild Bunch" matches are limited to .45 ACP 1911 type pistols, .40 cal or larger pistol caliber rifles
and 1897 shotguns. Some local clubs allow more varied firearms. I shot one using my C-96 as both my pistol
and by attaching the stock my rifle. Another CAS shooting organization, NCOWS, allows the use of pre-1900
double action revolvers.

The OP brings up an interesting idea. There were many guns in use (some more commonly used than
others) during the 19th century. Particularly toward the end. Lugers, Borchardt (sp?) and Broomhandles
would all fall outside the scope of what cowboy action shooting is. They all, none the less, have a place in
history that should be preserved. Given that the SASS is bearing the flag better than anybody as far as
keeping the '..thrilling days of yester-year' alive, they would be a likely place to see some sort of antique
shooting sport that encompases those sorts of guns. For all I know, there may be Boer War type events
in South Africa, but if so I've never heard of it. Reenactments, probaly. Competative events with period
guns, that I don't know.
How about GAF, The Grand Army of the Frontier;

That's pretty cool.
I think that as time goes on, we will see something that parallels what happened in the AMCA (Antique
Motorcycle Club of America) The AMCA was created in the '50s and they defined 'antiques' as bein (I think) 30
or 35 years old. As years go by more and more stuff starts to meet that definition. I remember about ten
years back there was rumbling that the Japanese bikes were starting to come of age and that would ruin the
club meets. We'd be over run with Hondas. It didn't really turn out like that from what I've seen. Sure, there

are some Honda Dreams putting around the field at meets, but the Harleys, Indians, Excellsiors, Popes and all
the other really old stuff is still what the bulk of the interest is among antique bike enthusiasts. I suspect we
will see more of this sort of "non cowboy" events taking place along side the CAS shooting, but it will never
eclipse the cowboy events. That is just so burned into our minds that no Martini and Broomhandle shoots will
replce it, but those guns have their place in the sun too. Semi autos are over a hundred years old now, we are
fast aproaching the centenial of the War to End All Wars. There may be a "Seargend York" course popping up
at some match before long. Why not.Logged

Im surprised nobody has mentioned watching the movie 'The Wild Bunch', (1969 IIRC) where Colt's 1911s and
Springfield '03s were used; it certainly falls within the scope of the 'Wild West', as does the Pancho Villa/Mex
revolution. It wasnt all pre 1900, just read Sixguns by Elmer Keith or stuff on the Texas Rangers. Infamous Tom
Horn's escape attempt in Aug. 1903 failed because he reportedly didnt know how to release the safety on the
autoloader pistol he had taken.
Then there are the Savage '99s, but thats another discussion.........

6 shot Revolving Cap and BallFULL Automatic Rifle
Mershon and Hollingsworth revolving cylinder automatic rifle. Patented in 1855. A spring mechanisim
automatically fired and rotated the cylinder. The trigger could be locked in back position for full automatic fire.
To wind up the spring, a ratchet lever is located just behind the receiver. Six shot percussion .40 caliber.

North & Skinner Revolving Arms Co. North & Skinner, Middletown, Connecticut.
Produced from 1856 to 1859, this revolving rifle looked much like the other revolving rifles that were being tried. One difference
however was that it was not a "single-action" type where you cocked the hammer to rotate the cylinder.
The North & Skinner was a levergun. Shoving the combination lever & triggerguard down cocked the hammer and rotated the
cylinder into firing position.
Most were made in .44 caliber. Some .60 caliber shotguns were produced also.
There were a number of different types of revolving rifles produced around this time. The biggest reason they did not last was ...
the Volcanic rifle and it's offspring! Attached Thumbnails

14/17
Savage Revolving Rifle Savage Revolving Rifle
41 Cal
Serial #: 1 Manufacturer: Savage
Model: Revolving Type: Rifle
Barrel Length: 24 inch part octagon
Finish: blue Stock: walnut
Description: These rifles are known by many names. They were made under the 1 June, 1852 patent of Henry
S. North and Chauncy D. Skinner, so they are sometimes called "North & Skinner". They were made by the firm
of North & Savage (same North with Edward S. Savage) and are sometimes called by that name. The latter firm
became Savage Revolving Firearms Co. so they are most often simply called "Savage". The action of these early
revolving rifles is more complicated than the later revolvers. There is a wedge behind the cylinder. When the
lever below the cylinder is pulled down, it also pulls the wedge down and allows the spring around the cylinder
pin to push the cylinder away from the barrel, disengaging the protruding mouth of the chambers from the
barrel. When it is loose, a tooth on the wedge engages the track on the back of the cylinder causing it to turn to
the next chamber. A link fastened to the lever behind the wedge cocks the hammer. When the lever is returned,
the wedge forces it tight against the rear of the barrel. There are no external marks visible except the number
"1" stamped on top of the receiver at the barrel junction. Vestiges of the address are barely visible in front of
the rear sight. An assembly number "240" appears on the cylinder, cylinder pin, the bottom of the barrel under
the cylinder pin, wedge, lever, buttplate, hammer, and right side plate internally. It also appears on the rear
sight leaf but the 4 is stamped upside down. The number 114 appears on the right side of the lever and cocking
link,195 on the left side plate and 69 on the trigger. The trigger and hammer both have two pivot holes so they
can be assembled on another frame or frames. The different assembly numbers indicate a cleanup of factory
parts or a period factory repair. The cylinder pin wedge, which goes into the slot to the rear of the recoil shield,
is missing. The left wood to side plate screw, trigger spring, and trigger spring screw are also missing. The
round brass patch box is mounted on the left side of the butt stock instead of the right where it is normally
found. The buttplate is iron. Only a few hundred of these were made. Attached Thumbnails

8/13/2019 Mershon and Hollingsworth Revolving Cylinder Automatic Rifle. 1855
15/17
Sylvester Roper was an early automobile designer in America. His cars were steam powered, and he made a
steam motorcycle which had to be the first motorcycle ever made, and a steam powered buggy, or automobile
as they were called later.
Roper was a prolific inventor, and patented many versions of his vehicles, as well as the first repeating cartridge
shotgun.
On 10 April 1866, Sylvester Roper of Roxbury, Mass patented a shotgun (53881) with a bolt mechanism and a
revolving cylinder magazine. Cocking the hammer withdrew the breech bolt, extracting a spent cartridge formthe barrel as it did so. When the hammer had been retracted, a magazine spring revolved a new cartridge into
line with the chamber, pulling the trigger released the bolt to fly forward and fire the chambered round in a
'slam bang' motion.
To reduce the shock, the hammer could be lowered onto the chamber and then pulled back to an intermediate
position from which the cap on the cartridge-base nipple could be fired without partially extracting the case.
Made originally in 16 and (later) in 12 bore by the Roper Repeating Rifle Company of Amherst Mass, the
shotgun was a minor success. Most examples had a detachable choke patented in July 1868 (79861).The Roper
Sporting Arms Company, formed in Hartford in March 1869, was effectively a partnership between Christopher
Spencer and Charles Billings. Production of .40 rifles and 12 bore shotguns continued into the early 1870s but
never in sufficient quantity to make any real impact. Attached Thumbnails
Warren & George Evans Nouvelle page 0
The shown model is New Model, the last model, manufactured in the years 1880.
Evans leave ordinary by their splendid completion, their hammer placed under the frame, but especially by their
magazine, container either 28, or 34 cartridges with central percussion according to whether it is about gauge
.30 Evans shorts, .30 Winchester Long or .44-40 Winchester. This tubular magazine, placed in the action,
comprises a Archimedes' screw actuated by the trigger guard/lever of trigger guard.

If only he could have sold them Joe Vincent Meigs
This is an incredible rare MEIGS .50 calibre magazine rifle cartridge with a 50 round magazine.
Only three ever produced and this is serial 2.
One was kept by the descendants of the inventor and is now in a major collection in the US. The second is
