I know its not an engine but I thought I would post a couple of photos anyway. I finished it up last night (my idea of a new years party). I have since found that building model engines is a great way to keep sane when starting a project like this. Anyway if need be you can remove it if it is in the wrong site.

Awesome job. Does not have to be an engine to show excellent machine work. Impressive. :bow:
 
Very well done!
Now, lets see it "running".

I've always wanted to build a Gatling Gun.

Superb.
 
2nd-- one is on my list one of these days too. Very nice. What caliber & plans?
 
Rolland;
Beautiful work! The brass looks more like a satin finish than a high polish - or is that just the camera effect. I prefer a satin look and wonder how it was achieved? Hope I haven't insulted you and it is polished :big: not my intent believe me!
Nice to see the metal/wood mix for a change, seems to add a lot of character to the piece.

Cheers
Garry
 
to answer a couple of questions
1. yes it works altho I have not been to the range since it has been fully assembled
2. It is an RG-G .22 caliber and has rifled barrels.
3. The brass has been polished to remove the tooling marks but seems to retain the satin finish, and it will most likely stay satin for now.
 
Very nice. I've been thinking the RG-G is the one I'd build as well.
 
Rolland,

Did you make the barrels or buy them?
 
It doesn't have to be an engine to show true craftsmanship!

A beautiful job and meticulous work!

Can you get a video of the range test when you go?

Beautiful build Rolland! :bow:

NO chance of that being removed.

I received the plans for that gun about 5 years ago.
Sorry guys, it is copyright protected material so I will not upload it.
A friend I worked with built one to those plans and it operates perfectly.
He spent 2 years building it. A "Brick" of .22 Long Rifle ammunition contains
500 rounds and on average costs about $30 USD. I'm not sure if he spent
more money on building it or shooting it. :D

Thanks for sharing the pictures Rolland!

Beautiful build Rolland
I too have those plans and now have all the raw materials to get started. Did you gather the raw materials on your own or did you get the raw material package from Paul? Ought to be fun at the range at 600 RNDS per minute. Have you thought about making the broadwell feed for it? If you Google RG-G, the website will come up and there are 3 video's on the home page of this gun firing.
