This pistol is documented by serial as being one of eight known Guycot pistols in the June 2007 Gun Report article "On the Cover: The Rare Guycot Chain Guns" by Charles M. Grimes (copy included). This rare pistol is chambered in 6.5mm cartridge similar to the Volcanic known as the Loron cartridge. The frame and grip house a chain which holds 40 chambers for centerfire cartridges. The belt is revolved until a chamber (or cup) faces the barrel. At the same time a long firing pin is retracted. An inner barrel is drawn back through the heavy outer barrel until it covers the bullet end of the cartridge. When the long drag on the trigger ends, the final pressure releases the needle like firing pin, which drives through a small opening in the base of the cup detonating the cartridge primer. The pistol fires a lead conical bullet which is hollowed out to accommodate the powder. The pistol can be fired as fast as the user can pull the trigger. The top of the frame has a bead sight at the breech, and a notch rear sight integral to the dust cover, which covers the loading port. It has a folding trigger and sliding safety mounted on the left side of the frame. The pistol lacks markings with the exception of "B" above the serial number "80" on the butt.

Exceptionally fine. The pistol has a mottled original bright polished appearance. The grips are very fine with some minor dings and scratches and retaining most of the original finish. The action needs work as the chain does not rotate when the trigger is pulled. Do no miss your chance to obtain a Guycot chain pistol, an unusual firearm seldom offered for sale.
