The .320 Revolving Rifle
Only 977 were manufactured between 1879 and 1887, and the model was dropped from the catalogue by 1890. Essentially, the frame was identical to that of the standard model, except for the hammer that featured an adjustable fly to allow changes in trigger point engagement in order to adjust the weight of the trigger pull. It was made in the .320 S&W caliber only.
The gun was available in blue or nickel finish, with barrel lengths of 16", 18" or 20".
Each gun was equipped with a red hard rubber forearm and grips. The shoulder stock was made of walnut and had a black hard rubber butt plate.
All of the stocks featured a screw hole in the wrist to allow mounting of a peep sight. The front side could also be replaced by an optional globe sight that had a set of cross hairs.
The barrel is made in two pieces.
This gun was not very popular. By April, 1880, only 960 had been manufactured, of which 76 nickel finished and the rest were blued. Between 1880 and 1887, only 17 additional Revolving Rifles were manufactured.
