It's MacNaughton's patent of 1899. Monoblock barrels! Go to the books and read! There's nothing new under the sun.
If I had a scanner I would scan the patent . . oops just thought of Google patents!
Curses, no patent on the U.S. side or else I don't know how to search Google Patents.
Just looked in my British reference books. It's patent #12,464 of June 15, 1899 granted to J. MacNaughton:
Quote:
Fig. 2 shows a plan of a double-barreled gun, in which the barrels A are connected by sleves B, C, and the space between the barrels being free or filled by non-heat-conducting material. . .
These wonderful MacNaughton rifles hail that patent right on their ribs, etc.
I like those rifles, but can't afford one.
