Here's a video of how the gun works The Civil War Coffee Mill Gun - YouTube
A card board mock up of the hopper. I will start to make the hopper out of brass next. no more then 20 rds in Mary-land
Making the hopper, all the parts are made from brass. cut all the parts out and silvered the main parts toghter. going to soft solder the trim on next and a lot of cleaning up and polishing.
Dose it look like the original in the pic next to it? Now i need to make the Agitator that go's in the hopper. That's what the square hole in the bottom is for. It has a 1/4" square rod that pushes up on a plate to agitate the chamber to keep form binding up.

The last pic of the original has a piece of brass on the right that has a square hole in it, is not right. some body must have put that in there years a go. it should have a agitator plate in the bottom.
Some pic's of the Agitator in stalled it's a hinged plate that goes up and down to keep the cartridges from binding up. It has an arm that rides on top of the wedge that moves the plate up and down.
MAN! I wish I had your talent.
Out-Freakin'-standing!! PLEAZZZZZZE tell us that you intend to bring it to Spring Nationals and display it?
