Re: Building the D&E Gatling Gun - NAMES Expo
The main shaft rides in oilite bushings however I used Torrington (needle) thrust bearings at each end of the main shaft as well as on the crank handle shaft. It's chambered for LR and will fire LR's OK, however I have found that it likes longs better. The issue is reliable ejection of the ocassional unfired round. I had a problem with the LR's hanging up, jaming under the cover, no problem with the bit shorter longs. Joe B
