A fantasy gun akin to taurus circuit judge? Idea for rifle

A revolving rifle

Without the hassle of barrel insert or similar I would like a rifle with the ability to chamber both a hunting round with similar effects as lets say a .308 or larger and have a cheap round for plinking/training or small game.

Wouldn't this be great, the .38/357 interchangability or 22lr/.22wr drum exhange but in a bigger scale

So which bullet works best as a small handgun round AND fullsize rifle round?

Anyway to get around the travel the smaller roundwill have to make in the cylinder before it enters the barrel? Maybe have a firing pin in each chamber so the smaller bullit is closer to the barrel?

it could very well be single action because that would probably be faster then lever, straight pull, pump or bolt anyway, just use your thumb on the hammer

Pipedream?
 
Uberti makes a replica of the 1873 revolver carbine in .45 Colt.

In the early 90s, Knights Armament made a suppressed, revolving, short range sniper rifle... I don't recall the caliber, but probably .357 or .44.

Cheers,
C
 
the knights armament looks cool but the uberti? no ergonomics, "just" a revolver with a buttstock and long barrel

and those calibres aren't big enough (we have different classes for different game)
 
Why not have one chamber in .30-06, one in 7.62x51, one in .30-30, one in 7.62x39, and one in .30 carbine. Then you'd have a revolver rifle that could fire all the most common .30 cal rounds. Though it seems like I'm forgetting one...
 
I wonder what a 54 Rimmed would feel like in one of those... Phhhewww... Now that'd be one heck of a ride!

I think a .30 bore in any rifle caliber would be great. Would the design hold up to cartridges that powerful, though? I've heard some things...
 
a 45-70 uses the same diameter bullet as a 45 right?, but pistol ammo ain't that cheap really

no 7.8mm pistol ammo that could use the same bore as 308/30-06 (they have the same bullet diameter right?

no 9mm rifle round?

but still not cheap enough, I am still cheap in my dreams:)

maybe the best would just be a converter insert barrel for .22
 
.30-06, it can be loaded for everything from mice to elephants.

There are 55grain sabots up to 250gr round nose bullets for the .30-06. Not sure about shot capsules for the .30 but it wouldn't surprise me if they were out there.
 
I could think of many. one would be a 310 bore with interchangeable wheels to allow for 303 brit or 7.62x54R, one for easy to find hunting ammo, the other for super cheap plinking ammo. also adapters are available for both to allow the used of 7.62 tokarev for cheaper varmint operations.

but, those are all going to be loud as heck out of a wheel gun and in such a lightweight design would kick like Chuck Norris after you violated his mother.

so my second best wish would be either 500 S&W which would not be cheap no matter how you split it or a 480/475 linebaugh, also not very cheap.
 
Didn't the revolving rifle pretty much die due to gas leakage between the cylinder and barrel?

You know, like this:

I know where I wouldn't want my arm.......
 
yeah but there are two commercial weapons out there now that works around it

the taurus judge carbine and a russian shotgun , the russian

is enclosed

or what about the russian nagant revolver, that can be silenced so I assume they got around the problem somehow?
 
The Nagant revolver got around gas leakage by having a recessed bullet and moving the cylinder forward so the case mouth sealed the barrel to cylinder gap.
 
Bummer the circuit judge has been reported to have bad accuracy, they need to ditch the shot shell chamber and make it 45 colt as far as rifle cartridges in a revolver cylinder I was thinking about the gas injuring your arm or something also.
 
I once had a similar idea with 7.62 x 54 without a rim and 7.62x39 where 7.62x39 was your plinking round. I think i could of fixed the gas leakage between the cylinder and the chamber with a second part of the cocking process where as the hammer is drawn back a round piece with a firing pin in it pushes the cartridge into the chamber and rotates into place with grooves cut in the back of the cylinder. A rather complex build, and i would have to cnc all of the parts for a maybe, maybe i'll try it someday. But it would be pretty badass...

The basic operation of the pushing the cartridge into the chamber would use a rotating bolt similar to that of an ar15, only the bolt would be longer and the carrier would be shorter, and the bolt would have the Lugs further back on the bolt for the 7.62x39 and further forward on the 7.62x54 rimless. I also have an idea of how to keep the cartridges from moving forward while in the cylinder, and that is simply a piece of metal in front of them. It

This whole idea of mine was kind of something i would think about and design when i was board, i had no plans of trying to build it.
