Weekend work update

Not much posting or working in the shop this weekend. Everyone at gun lab.net is SICK. Massive head aches,body aches, miserable coughs, just sick. Work and everything else just caught up with us. I hope to spend time cleaning up my back up hard drive if I can focus on the screen for any length […]

Battery gun

I have been going and looking at firearms in England for over 20 years. One that I always go back and look at time and time again is a battery gun. Not your normal single row of barrels type battery gun. No this weapon is made up of two rows of different caliber revolvers.
