You should do a video with the shotgun on the botton!

[MrRuneRebel]

@BKISCADDENJR The shotgun barrel is plugged. I have put a screw through the frame and shotgunbarrel to keep the gun toghether. The front part where the barrel are is only a friksjon fit from the factory. To prevent the barrels from falling off I have to drill and tap a hole and put a screw through this parts. I dont have this gun any more. Sold it to a western collector.

im amazed nobody built a conversion for this to take cartriges. this is a nice revolver. if you run out of ammo you could beat the other guy to death with it lol.

[MrRuneRebel]

@choopdewoot I dont think it sells very well because of its large size. If it had been popular like the Colt modells they would most likley made convertinon cylinders for it. This is a true "horsepistol" (or revolver) as they sead in the old days :-)

[halopartyboy]

That is a HUGE fucking pistol! I had no idea it was this big!

[MrRuneRebel]

@halopartyboy Yes its a big and heavy revolver. It wont fit in any normal size holsters.

[Deutscheland1470]

were i to purchase a firing replica, do you suppose i could get a gun smith to convert it so that it could fire metallic cartridges, rather than cap-and-ball?

[MrRuneRebel]

@Deutscheland1470 Yes. The gunsmiths of yesterday made convertions of the old cap`n ball revolver, so its fully posible to do so. You can also buy a cartridge cylinder for cap`n ball revolvers like the Remington. Then you dont need a gunsmith. You just put in the new cylinder and start shooting right away. But the new cylinders are quite expencive I belive. Ask in a gunshop for price etc. Cheers Rune

Pietta makes working replica's even the shotgun under the barrel fires, it'll only set you back $850. In my opinion it's worth it, this is my favorite black powder revolver ever made. =)

[gunmaker9758]

that thing must weigh a ton

[civilwartank1]

@gunmaker9758 its only like 5 pounds lol

[jkgunsword44]

you can pay a mexican 50 bucks to put a fireing pin in it

[triggerhappynumskull]

feckin beast of a gun

[Nick3889]

Damn i never realized How HUGE the Lemat was

[JohnnyTwoStep89]

That thing is insanely huge!

[MrRuneRebel]

@JohnnyTwoStep89 Jup. Its a big revolver. It dont fit in normal size holsters.

[xXGATE13xXHD]

@MrRuneRebel if i chamber a blank firing gun will it shoot then?? sorry my english are not so good thanks for you r help mrrune =))

[MrRuneRebel]

@xXGATE13xXHD It will not shoot right out of the box. You must drag off the barrel and drill open the nippels (with 1,5mm drillbit). The barrel is open so thats all you neeed to do. Cheers Rune

[Deutscheland1470]

@JohnnyTwoStep89 that is what she said

[RonanMacQuarrie]

So Jayne Cobb is a Confederate?

[MrRuneRebel]

@RonanMacQuarrie Dr Jean A F Le Mat of New Orleans patented this revolver in America in 1856 and was assisted by PGT Beauregard. Production where unsuccessful and Le Mat went to Paris. There Dr Girard became Le Mats partner. They sold to the confederacy aprox 900 revolvers for the army and aprox 600 for the navy. The revolvers was used by both Genaral JEB Stuart and General PGT Beauregard amongst others.

[TheTravelingbard]

very interesting weapon you have there. it was very popular in the American Civil War and was used mostly by the Confederacy, the Union as i understand it, went with the Colt Single Action Army.

[MrRuneRebel]

@TheTravelingbard Jup. It was a weapon mostly used by the Confederates, but only aprox 2000 revolvers where made. All the weaponfactories (SP?) where in the north, but the south tryed to make some guns also. Most of the guns used by the south where imported or taken from the union troops. The LeMat is indeed an interesting weapon.

[Theguns491]

denix lager replica våpen. Hvordan fikk du denne til å skyte?

[MrRuneRebel]

@Theguns491 Løpet er åpent fra fabrikk. For å demontere revolveren er det bare å dra løpet rett av. Det er ikke festet på noen måte. Hele løpsdelen henger fast i ramma med friksjon. Hanen var riktignok noe kort. Jeg satte inn en 4mm skrue for å forlenge den, så hammeren skulle nå frem til nipplene. Har bare prøvd to hetter og begge gikk av. Revolveren er laget av sink og vil troligens ikke tåle trykket hvis man lader med svartkrutt. Den fungerer nå som en kruttlapp revolver. Kun for morro.
