I attend one local gun show a year & get a couple tables... selling items I no longer need & try to buy something new with my new found funds...
I had Mrs. Magnum cover my tables for a while & did a fast lap... found a nice S&W #2 with red grips... diecent price but I hadn't quite sold enough stuff to buy it... & it sold by the time I had
anyway I didn't find anything I just had to have by the end of the show, so I picked up a pepper box my buddy was trying to get me to buy... a C Sharpes patent 32 Rim Fire gun in "good' functional shape...
this got me thinking... was this gun older than my other early black powder cartridge revolvers, or just a creative way around the S&W bored through cylinder patent... I don't have the gun here, but I think the patent date is mid 1850's
I've yet to introduce my new pepper box to my camera, but could do pics soon... anyone collect & or shoot these guns ??? I do have some Navy Arms 32 short rim fire cartridges, I'm thinking about cutting a good portion of the weight off the bullets & trying a gun full just to see how everything functions... the firing pin rotates on the hammer so each shot fires another barrel...
