Tuesday Torque: You Turn The Crank, Colt Provides The Thrill
For only 60 Gs, you can own one of these. Rural King has one of these in their current ad, and the family of True Blue Sam is going to let the readers have first crack at buying this fine machine. CLICK HERE to buy!
A long gone gunshop just outside of Philly had a short barreled Gatling Gun chambered in .30-40 Krag in the middle of the shop. If I remember correctly, the asking price in 1967 was around $ 2,000.00 and the Consumer Price calculator says that is around 16K in today's dollars. I'm figuring that a large part of the asking price for the Colt Gatling is that the gun isn't made my modern mass production methods, it's made in only a 50 gun run, and the .45-70 is a traditional cartridge. Having said all of that, yes of course I want one!
I'll have to check my bank account to see if that Gatling gun comes home with me... :)

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteThe video in your "Yesterday in St. Louis" post auto plays and walks over other video.
Thanks.

John: Thank You. I will check that and get rid of it if I can't fix it.
