For Cannon Lovers

[Woody Morgan]

I'm new to this game - what's a 'normal' price for one of these in a 1/2" to 1" bore?

I'm afraid I've gotten infected and want one. You guys are a bad influence.

Admittedly, I got lucky. That .75 bore on my hearth ran me $400 and the custom matching carry/storage box we made a deal for was another $400. The guy was making them in his garage shop and I got wind of his work.
Include a couple of four hour round trips to complete the deal.

...There is no such thing as museum quality for bargain basement prices...

Maybe, but there are bargains to be had everywhere every day as long as you're paying attention and are willing to just make it happen.

No she does not shoot, at least not much. She has 2 rifles
one a nice custom build.

Wanted a helicopter, she said no to that also.

Buy the chopper all the while hoping she likes to fly and then tell her. My wife would fly around with me but she would fall asleep in the plane all the time

One of mine. Father made these in the 70's.
1" bore, about 30" long.

Yes, I agree. There are some hours into that nice model.

The field gun. Same bore/barrel. Have fired them a lot over the years both with lead or iron balls.

Your Field Cannon shows real nice. Nice strapping on the carriage.

What companies have supplies?

Are there any monthly magazines?

The biggest problem with cannons is finding storage space. A full size field gun takes up a whole garage stall, and it's too heavy to push/pull around to store in the house. A naval carriage cuts things down considerably, except the weight of the tube.
