FLOBERT PARTS

Gallery guns, Flobert guns, parlor guns or saloon guns are types of firearms designed for recreational indoor target shooting.  These guns were developed in 1845, when French inventor Louis-Nicolas Flobert created the first rimfire metallic cartridge by modifying a percussion cap to hold a small lead bullet.  These cartridges do not contain any powder, the only propellant substance contained in the cartridge is the percussion cap.  Gallery guns are smallbore, single-shot or pump action rifles, typically chambered in .22 Short. Some of the more popular guns are the Winchester Model 1890, Colt Lightning Carbine and the Winchester Model 62.
