That swivel breech rifle that you saw in the movie "  Unconquored "  was the same rifle in the movie Big Sky with Kirk douglas.
In the Big Sky movie they actually showed how the rifle barrels were swiveled around so that the second barrel could
be fired.  The rifle was  a Jeager style and it was an actual antique.  It went to auction a few years ago and was sold
by the motion picture co.  When I saw those two  picture back in the fifties I knew that some day I would own one.

Since then I have built over fifty of them.  My specialty.
