Gatling gun

--How detailed are the plans? Seems to me I got a peek at the RG-G plans many moons ago and they looked pretty lame..

Ah, I have a set of plans for one also, 6 barrels though. R.I.G. corp for mine. Very long term project, unless I get started on the silly thing...

RG-G, that's the set I have. No, they're pretty complete, I haven't found any "guess-gaps" on them yet, but I also haven't started the actual machining yet either.

I have seen finished models at NAMES. Very impressive. Don't know which set of plans this builder used though. Just curious how long you think it will take to build. chuck

The seller said his standard answer to the "how long" question is 500 hours. A lot of variables can change that figure. One chap on the forum is almost finished with his gun and he guessed 200-300 hours. I'll be keeping track of my time as I plan to sell it and build more. Tom

Got your FFL manufacturer's license in order?

I have the RG-G plans and they are all pretty good, I've run into a bit of a snag though. Mine was put into storage and unfortunately it leaked :( Some moisture got into the shed, and now my plans are bleeding. Would anyone know how or where I can replace these plans? I've had mine for about 10 years or so.

There's no need, so long as it is for your own use.

As I've been given to understand, that's true only if it comes onto your property as raw chunks of metal, then never leaves your property again for any reason whatsoever.

But, since the fellow has clearly stated that he intends to make and sell, he's definitely going to be needing *AT LEAST* a dealer's license if he wants to keep the BATF off his back.

Not needed if you don't sell it!

I believe that he needs a license for making a full auto gun. You are correct that he would not need a license for making a gun for himself, but that applies only to non-auto guns. It is an NFA issue.

Which again goes to show how absurd gun control laws are. Turning by hand = good. Turning by motor = bad. Ridiculous!

I thought that the Gatling gun was not an automatic gun, since you have to rotate the lever continuously to fire it.

This is another seller of plans, also very helpful

Contact the guy, I've talked to him in the past and he seems reasonable. Might offer you an upgrade to the current plans for a discount given that you've bought the plans from him already. Let me know how that works out, actually...
