Yes it is a very nice looking cannon. Got any idea how much it weighs? Probably does give a good bang with 1.5 bore. Good luck with your cannon, did you just pull it out of the closet?

The man of many talents, very nice.

More like .146 high. I would really try the suggested heaver loads first to see what happens with the group position and size first. You need to enjoy the trouble shooting and slow down. A combination higher rear sight and lower front sight might be what is really needed. You can think this one...

This is a very interesting story. Some might have trouble believing, but not me.

That is one of those guns you hate to shoot, but you know you will anyhow. It is a looker. By the way took you nearly 3 years to post. You can do better than that and we expect more.

Just so happen to be driving down the road and run into this cannon. Good luck with your new to you cannon. You should get a good bang out of it.

What you do with your gun is your business. But a person just starting out with shooting a black powder gun and getting himself in this much of a problem does not need the advice of put a torch in each hand and melt it out. The fact that he has already been given the good advice of pulling the...

This idea has been tried a couple months ago on a different posting. It so to speak worked in removing lead, but it mostly ruined the gun. The results are not good, let me restate it will be trash afterwards. Not a good idea at all.

I have explained the secret, what you do with it is your business.

LMF is a great product. You do not need all that special cleaning, as it is not necessary. Just start with one light coat. And then here is the trick to start it turning brown. "Do nothing" just let it set for a day or two, then give it another coat. The copper will disappear and the brown will...

With cannons I like the idea of lots of metal in the breach. But looking at the modern day revolvers and seeing how thin the web can be in the cylinder is amazing. Would be interesting to do some home research on a steel by using a simple tube, drilled .50 caliber, and fused fired. After each...

Don't use paper any more. Had the thinnest Hair Curling Paper clog 2 0f the nipples. Caused misfires. I'll just use powder.

Simple, that is because you are a Artist. Another perfect job.

Yes they do, and with low cost shipping. What the heck I can always use a little more right.

I am no expert either, but that is a real nice find. Looks like a very sturdy well built barrel. Super nice to rebuild some sort of carriage. Hope someone will post what the complete gun should look like.

Sure a person could enlarge the vent hole. But this might not be a good course of action, as it will vent more with a model. Vent hole size vs bore size. I remember buying a stock load of 2mm fuse at amazon with free shipping in the year 2020. And good stuff. Things have changed, Biden has...

I would not wait, its kind of hard to find. https://cannonfuse.com/cannon-fuse/

A trigger is not very big. Before I had access to a lathe or milling machine, which would make me younger then a teen. Would use some files to shape the trigger out of tool steel (no bending) and a drill press for holes. Had no way to out source, so if I wanted it bad enough, it would be home...

A penny for my thoughts? Are you kidding me. While there was a day when my thoughts weren't even worth 2 cents, We are living now under Bidenomics . And with the inflation, even I can get 3 cents any day of the week. But I think you have your answer now anyway.
