Adams Patent Revolver: VIDEO

When we filmed this video these guns were set to be sold over the next several days in our 2016 February Regional Auction,and I knew I wanted to get them on film before they left our doors. These four guns are a part of the evolution of the Adams Patent revolver, the first double action revolver commercially produced.

Daisy-Heddon V/L Rifle VIDEO

We got great feedback on last week's story on the V/L rifle, and many of you wanted to see a video of the .22 that fires caseless ammunition.  Ask and ye shall receive! If you would rather watch than read, or just want a more in-depth understanding of the rifle and its mechanism, then this video is just for you.

The History of Merwin Hulbert

Surprise!  This week we didn't write a blog, but we did make a video for you.  Not only is it a nice change of pace, but it's also going to be much easier to see how these revolvers function than to imagine it while reading.

Enjoy some firearms history and several really neat features of a high quality gun that didn't quite make it.
