The gun is very fast at 1,200-1,400 RPM. The action does feel odd as there is no pushback but an odd climb. With a stock and Trommel mag it is still a fun experience.

I now forget which period conversion this was, but the gun belongs to a local collector and is the one featured in Sturgess's book.
