that is a gun that has always intrigued me. Good photo of the inside although I still am semi puzzled how it actually works. It looks as if the rotary drum that the shells are in push the firing pin / spring back until the notch lets them fall and fire the gun

Many thanks; it would be a challenge to make one with a 4 1/4" barrel to make it legal enough to register
