This video provides an in-depth look at the Miller Pill-Lock Revolving Rifle, an intermediate revolving firearm designed by John and James Miller. It predates Sam Colt's hammer-indexed cylinders, requiring manual rotation between shots. The rifle utilizes a unique pill lock ignition system where a mercury fulminate pill is crushed by the hammer to ignite the charge. Only a few hundred were produced between 1835 and 1850, with Billinghurst being a notable gunsmith involved in their construction. The description also mentions links to Patreon and merchandise.
