Hello,
So I have a question related to sustained firing. I was recently listening to an audio book of the Aubrey-Maturin series when they discussed reducing charge to avoid bursting or dismounting a gun based on the observation that the same charge produces more force as the guns heat up. Now...
About 3 years ago I finally got a lathe. First project?
CANNON!
Ran test loads with it mounted to a sled. .50 caliber barrel full of noise! So much fun I never built a carriage for it. I started a nice field carriage and am making the parts slowly. It was not going to be done in time.
Drew up...
Hi I’m interested on how I’m supposed to get in contact with the handgonne maker and youtuber freekforge1 I tried commenting on some of his YouTube video but I don’t think I’m gonna get a response anytime soon since I don’t think he is active on YouTube anymore. I want to buy a brass handgonne...
.70 caliber cannon barrel & a left hand lock. The ramrod that came with it was iron but too short, so I made a new one from wood with an antler tip.
Keith.
