Thread: Lancaster Oval bore rifling. Who's got one ?

Here's an interesting Lancaster.
Seriously unlikely to find one of these NOS and still in grease in NZ
But worth looking at to marvel at the skill in regulating 4 barrels and the cocking and trigger mechanism

"
The above magnificent gun is a four-barreled hammereech-loading rifle that was once owned by the Maharaja of Rewa in India. The four barrels are all oval-bore. The rear trigger is actually a cocking lever. Pulling the cocking lever for the first time makes the upper right barrel ready for firing. Each pull of the trigger and cocking lever fires each of the barrels in turn. The oval nature of the barrels is almost impossible to see, as the oval is only 0.006 inches out of round.

The Charles Lancaster company continued to produce oval bore rifles from the late 1800s to the early 1920s or so."rless b
