Original British Royal Navy Nock Volley Gun Circa 1780

IMA sends me advertisements too because I bought a couple of over priced replacement parts for one of the Nepal rifles I bought from another source that IMA also has. Everything they sell is like the prices American Pickers puts on all kinds of old junk on TV. I thought about offering them some of my more odd pieces in the hope that they would offer me three times what they are worth to me in order to try to sell them to someone for twenty times what they are worth to me. My reaction to this classic firearm price is..I wonder what they were smoking when they put a price on it?

As they say, "It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it."
If it sells, that's what it's worth...........

WOW, do they give a discount if you by 2.

Didn't Sgt. Harper have something like that in the Sharpe series ?

Yes Joe, exactly but a copy non the less.

Slightly more than six hundred of these original flintlock Nock volley guns were sold to the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Henry Nock's seven-barreled smoothbore was specifically intended to be fired from the rigging down onto the deck against boarders. This formidable gun was wielded by Richard Widmark as frontiersman Jim Bowie several times in repelling Mexican attackers in this 1960 film version of The Alamo. Designed to fire all seven barrels simultaneously, concussion and recoil were devastating.

You'd have to tie yourself to the mast before letting that one go, jeez must have been a beast to shoot.
