An afternoon of surfing over the internet resulted in the following...  8)

There is no price listed. We should probably be grateful for that, since it will probably ruin the rest of your day  :o (and week, for that matter)

I think at an auction this year an original went for around $210,000.   But that might have included the caisson.

It better have included attractive hookers and premium whiskey too for that price.

Dixie Gun Works has reproductions at much more reasonable prices.

You realize, don't you, that the paperwork for a Gatling is the same as for any other long gun ?
They are not an NFA item.  ;D

Reasonable indeed. At $45K.  :o

Nevertheless, if i had $45K I might still be in the market for such a beauty :)

Lucky you! In Holland these things are considered to be full automatic weapons. Have one of those in your home and the cops won't even bother to arrest you: they will take you to the nearest woods and summary execute you!  >:(

Thing is that unless you are lucky enough to have a room layout so that you can put it smack in the middle of the room, you need two of them to balance each other.....
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
