| Very interested in where the picture of the second one came from. Also never saw a revolver rifle built like a regular infantry musket. Know if they still had to use leather forearm guards?

| I saw a revolving shotgun at a show a couple of years back, and it had a shroud around the cylinder. It was of European manufacture and looked rather high end with very nice engraving. Can't say about the maker. Very nice piece, very high price, at least for me. The fellow also had a couple of Colts, and I guess you would have to hold with both hands back of the cylinder, like a Remington revolving rifle. I've often wondered about the Colt revolving rifle, as it was certainly no carbine! I don't see how you could hold something that long up to fire without having to expose your fore arm and hand to possible damage. And I have seen a chain fire-Colt Walker replica, and he forgot to grease the front of the cylinder. No one was hurt, and the pistol was not damaged, but the shooter was through for the day (and several more). |

| Maybe you should consider adding a vertical foregrip to the carbine design. This would lower your forearm, requiring less shielding from the cylinder gap. From there a shield of sorts could be as simple as a small protruding horizontal plate attatched near the bottom of the frame on the left side. I probably wouldn't need to be mor than a few cm's in protrusion. Just an idea.

| This wouldn't be any louder than a regular rifle or shotgun.

| The blast would either be contained in a Nagant type locking system or directed forward in a cylindrical shield.
