James Millar patented this system in 1829. At least fifteen gunsmiths made the revolving rifle under the Miller patent in the Northeast, and it's estimated that only a few hundred total were produced. This rifle has no visible maker's mark. The barrel has a small blade front sight and a notch rear sight. The seven-shot cylinder has some fairly crude serrations to make it easier to grip and rotate and has been fitted with percussion nipples. The back action lock has scroll engraving. The forend cap is pewter, and the furniture is iron. A star is carved into the left stock flat.
