So, the phone ringed an A guy asked me if I knew anything about weapons. I told Him, yes a little, "could you come over here and take a look then?"
Ok, so I went over to his work.

"I can not put the torch on this" he said and pointed on an open wooden create filled with something big and mechanic.

It was a fivebarreled machinegun: A Nordenfeldt 8x58 RD. Complete and in mintcondition.

"can I buy it?" I asked and he looked at me and said: "can you get a permit for it, you can have it!"

Yes, nearly, accept the crank and the magazines.
It uses a Drawhandle, that you pull back and forth to make it fire.
The stranges thing is that it has been in "service" until lately.

never seen one before. it looks like a variation of the Gatling gun.
with a crank or lever that works the action instead of the power from the round working it.

not sure about your laws but in most US areas those don't count as machine guns and have much less regulation.

there's a gunsmith around here that builds 6-barrled "gattling-type" guns. (revolving barrles, hand crank), chambered for .22-lr and somewhere in the nieghborhood of 2,500 rpm I think it only load 10 rounds per barrle though.

Capt.

No problems with the permit as I have a swedish "class III".
And as you say, it is not really an automatic gun.
