    No one that I am aware of... I believe that they fall into the "Destructive Devices" category, and would require a lot of paperwork and expense to make.

    a "GATLING" GUN is not a destructive device. you have to actuate and work the manual action by hand to cause the gun to fire each individual round, and it will not function without you crancking the handle. the small trigger assist system you see added to military semiautos that allow you to crank a handle around and fire the gun quicker follows the same principle, and is also legal.

    (i think)(i believe)

    we deal with a manufacturer of 1/2 scale guns, and he plans on making full scale models available for private sale in the future. there is a backlog, a waiting list, and a BIG price tag involved.

    the fed. govt. did limit the magazine capacity, but allowed the high capacity ones already produced to be grandfathered, and be legaly sold and possesed. he ran off a large supply before this ruling, so he does have an ample quantity of "pre-ban" mags / drums / hoppers on hand.

    we have 1 1/2 scale .22 LR model on order, including the whole tripod assembly and a wheeled caisson on backorder for a customer. its been 7 months, and no gun yet...

    i will update you on the quality, function, fit and finish, range performance, and fun factor when and if it ever arrives. my boss does not want to place another order until we get a quality control hands on inspection of the one we are waiting for.

    best regards, mike.

    This won't answer your question, but have you considered a 1919 with a hand crank? They are sweet little guns and parts are readily purchased ect. They won't hurt your bank account near as bad as a Gatlin gun.

    Somewhere I remember an as or auction bill of a Cabella's in Michigan (or elsewhere) having 2 or three. The asking rate on these originals was over $100000 per each. A full grown Gatling is a fairly large, heavy piece of equipment. It also eats ammo at an incredible rate.
    Look at the websit www.gatlingguns.net. They sell everyting from plans and kits on up. A video on the site shows them firing a 50 round clip of .22. Not only impressive but fairly quick and they aren't cranking fast or in direct drive. They also have a lot of links to Gatling history ,ect. One was San Juan Hill being one of the fastest overruns of fortifications (15 minutes). 3 Gatling set up for crossfire. They also used up 3 wagon loads of ammo in the 15 minutes.

    Needless to say, unless you have the cash, its not a practical firearm to own

    I would be interested in knowing what firearms ARE practical to own if one does not have the cash.
