Oh, ye, The Lords of the Wheelie........

Im now totally obsessed because of Nightcrawlers post, so I have a question of my own. I remember seeing, in the late 80's and early 90's, every two-bit bad guy in any semi sci-fi televison series have a revolving rifle that they used to snipe good guy or other bad guys. Now if you think I have been able to find and image, link, or even mention of these things you are very much mistaken. Can anyone out there help me out. I think I would spend a fairly idiotic sum of money on one if it could be found.

For the record I always though they might be Mateba's or very modified Smiths.

Colt made cap and ball revolving carbines in the 19th century. I think Dixie Gun Works probably has replicas. They did have one little problem, you didn't wanna keep your hand forward of the cylinder when firing in the unlikely event of a cap and ball chain fire.

Mateba makes a rifle, kind of neat, but ugly.

My dream gun is a Mateba .44 magnum with an 8 3/4" barrel.
