    Antique Cannon Lock Firing Mech ID

    I picked up this old cannon lock that was recovered from a shipwreck about 30 years ago, along with some other stuff (a cannonball, bronze nails and spikes). I'm trying to pin down where it is from and how old it is. It looks like an English design, but the pan as a bit deeper than I've seen...

    Hand Cannon - Stock help needed

    Maybe I'll go with C. A & C were drawn from historic examples (examples of C are provided by the pics), but yes, the B-type that I was favoring for aesthetic reasons looks a century or two too late for the type of gun. This was kind of the direction I was thinking of going with it when I drew...

    Small Cannon

    I picked up this small cannon (9" x 2.75",31mm, 12lb) recently and I know pretty much nothing about it. I assume it may have been mounted as a handcannon, but who can say? Anybody got a better clue for me, or who can direct me to images of proper furniture for it? What do I have here?

    Relic Plains Rifle

    Hm. Restore it as a shooter. I really hadn't thought of that. Hmm. :hmm: When your brother did his rifle, did he smooth out the exterior pits on the barrel, or leave them as-is? Got any pics of the rifle? I'd love to see it. And just a note on the electrolysis, guys; electolytic rust...

    Relic Plains Rifle

    "No clue what it is, but could that be a typo on the 30mm bore?" Yup, typo. Meant to say 10mm. I corrected the text. Thanks.

    Relic Plains Rifle

    New guy here. I picked up this relic condition Plains Rifle a while back, and was wondering a couple of things. *Is this an original 19th Century rifle? It seem unlikely that a repro would have time to end up in this condition, but you never know. *The stock has insets into it where very...
