interesting, I was wondering how the barrel locked in place or unlocked.....I didn't want to play with it too much because I don't own it lol I got this picture from the internet its not the gun I seen, the nipple didn't line up with the hammer on the gun I seen, I was thinking loosen the drum screw and line it up with the hammer....next week i'll see if its still there and spin the barrel......the guy at the gun store had no idea

Pedersoli 54 Swivel Barrel Rifle
That is a good price for a swivel barrel. I have owned a Pedersoli Swivel Barrel for years & have used it several times for deer hunting. One deer I bagged with it was on the 2nd shot. (Yes I missed the first shot) It uses 2 spring loaded detent balls to easily lock the barrels in position. You should work up loads for each barrel for accuracy but I have found a good deer load that works in both barrels. Some like to set up one barrel for short & one for longer ranges. (The 2 screws on the fore grip only hold the wood slabs to the barrels.) The rifle is carbine length so it isn't as heavy as you might think. Frank
