I have finally gotten a Roper Revolving shotgun cartridge. Now, the puzzle is making the gun function. I feel that possibly two issues need to be addressed. No. 1 is that the revolving magazine seems to be missing a spring to rotate it. No. 2 is that the shell loading and extractor mechanism seems to work, but the actual hammer cocking position of that mechanism seems to be not working. Of course I do know that my descriptions are not understandable , except to one who might be familiar with this unusual model. Does anyone know of or posses a Roper that might help me answer some functioning questions ?


Roper's invention came in rifle and shotgun models. This is a rifle model, but essentially the same system.
