Odd Rifle

[rodmkr]

Was watching a John Wayne movie last night and saw a rifle I have never seen before.
It has a cylinder similar to a revolver instead of a magazine.
Have never seen one like and googled trying to find it to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?

Civil war relic. Not too many made. Cap & ball IIRC.

Colt revolving rifle perhaps? There were a couple others with revolving cylinders but I forget the names.

Yep, a revolving rifle. I saw one in Deadwood, but it wasn't for sale.

The most common seen is branded a cattleman carbine . It is a 16" barreled 1858 Rem based action .
Buntlines were occasionally fitted with a butt stock , also it was common for 1860 Colts as well usually with 12"+ barrels .

Yep, and Colt made musket caliber ones for the CT militia in the Civil War. And commercial shotguns also.
