http://www.nramuseum.org Presenting early models of repeating percussion rifles. John Popp joins National Firearms Museum Director Jim Supica for the first of two segments on the history of the repeating long gun. Theres the Bennett & Haviland rifle, featuring a chain of 12 external chambers that the shooter can rotate using a crank wheel. Next is the reasonably successful Colt revolving rifle, based on the pioneering pistol design. Also featured are two revolving turret rifles, the P.W. Porter and a unique Graham prototype.
