 Presenting…

A unique display of collectable arms

at Festivals of Speed, Mission Inn.

 Featuring the 1877 Bulldog Gatling Gun.

Compliments of…

Special “Sneak Peak” presentation at the Wine Connoisseurs Dinner.

 After years of Research & development using the original plans and specifications, the U.S. Armament Corp of Ephrata, Pa., has brought back to life the Model “1877 Bulldog Gatling” gun.

This incredible reproduction is chambered in the original 45-70 Govt. Caliber with a maximum firing rate of 1000 rounds per minute.

The Bulldog is equipped with a Bruce Feed Gravity Feed system which hold 40 rounds in parallel and is fed with wooden feed blocks.

The Bulldog has five 18 ¼ inch barrels which are fully enclosed in a cylindrical housing. Every turn of the rear crank produces a complete revolution of the 5 barrel unit thus firing the gun 5 times. The spent cartridges are automatically ejected from the gun. At the rear of the gun there are adjustments for windage and elevation. The tripod mount includes beautiful brass and iron components, and legs of solid ash wood.The Bulldog weighs in at 135 pounds, and the tripod weighs an additional 135 pounds.

The original 1877 Bulldog was tested for accuracy and scored an incredible 996 direct hits out of 1000 rounds at a distance of 500 yards.

 High build and finish quality are at a standard set for museums and galleries.

It stows easily in three deluxe transit chests, two for the bottom and top halves of the tripod and one for the gun itself.

See the presentation at Festivals of Speed.

About the winery.

Garnering wins from racing around a track at 180 miles per hour takes extreme focus, attention and a drive for perfection.

To professional race car driver and team owner, Kevin Buckler, so does wine making in the Sonoma and Napa Valleys- when you want to focus on making the very best wines.

Kevin also has a driving passion for wine. He and his wife, Debra, opened the Adobe Road Winery in southern Sonoma County to create wines that capture the essence of the vineyard. “We work hard to make sure each bottle of Adobe Road wine is handcrafted to showcase the best of each individual vineyard in each appellation we make wine from,” says Kevin. “We choose the best parts of Sonoma and Napa Valley for our elite Cabernet Sauvignons, Dry Creek for our hedonistically rich Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc, the Russian River and Petaluma Gap for our ethereal Pinot Noirs and lavishly flavored yet sleek Chardonnay.”

It is this passion to be the best and share his wines with the rest of the world that drives Kevin. With his wine team, he spends countless hours in the vineyard and the winery to perfect the flavor of each wine so they reflect the unique terroir and the passionate grower who farms the land. It is this attention to detail that brings out the personality and character of the wines and has garnered so many awards at major competitions around the country.

A new boutique wine facility was created in 2008 to make wines in small lots with uncompromising control. There isn’t always a need for speed. The winery is specifically designed to allow Kevin and his world-class winemaking team to spend time with each lot. Carefully monitoring each barrel, taking the time to make the right decisions, time to fully understand and manage the variables that go into crafting the perfect wines. You take one look at the winery-with its pristine state-of-the-art winemaking equipment and shiny, spotless floors-and you know there is a desire to make the best.

Drawing to Win!

During the meal, we will have free drawings to win bottles of wine
and much more!
