Fordyce Beals & Remington 24 Shot Revolver

[Henry4440]

Revolving cylinder percussion pistol. 24 shot cylinder has 2 banks of chambers. A double loading rammer is located beneath the barrel. The barrel pivots to fire either the outside or the inside bank of chambers. Design attributed to Fordyce Beals and possibly manufactured by Remington.

Good grief!  I wonder how much that thing weighs.  It looks VERY clumsy, I can't imagine it handling or pointing it very well.  I can see why they didn't catch on.

A TWELVE shooter of bigger caliber might have caught on. That one looks a littke pipsqueeky.

Indexing must have been horribly difficult on that one 
I would love to see a chain fire in it    Be like the GE Mini-Gun !!!!
Cool gun though , thanks for the photo , obviously very rare . Love to have it .
I think Beals stayed up way too late that night with his wiskey . Once again , hard to re-invent the perfect wheel , prime example there in this one gun .

I don't think that gun is legal in California

There are a couple of strange revolver designs out there. This one looks like a 10 shooter. Probably European made from 19th century

I'm not getting something here. Some of the chambers do not line up with the bore.  Loading lever loads 2 at a time. Does the barrel move to line up with the chambers closer to the center?
