This video delves into the impressive Model 100 revolver, a colossal firearm created in 1973 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the .45-70 cartridge's adoption by the US military. Manufactured by Earl Keller and Gene Phelps under the Century Mfg, Inc. name, this single-action revolver is a scaled-up version of the Colt Single Action Army. Initially chambered in .45-70, its caliber options later expanded to include .50-70, .375 Winchester, .444 Marlin, and .30-30 Winchester. The video also touches on the divergence of Keller and Phelps in 1976, with differing manufacturing approaches thereafter. The production of these unique revolvers, estimated at around 3,000 total units, is also discussed.
