A few years ago, I was able to track down the "A" part of A&K Manufacturing. He was pretty old. He said they were proud of the "special" grade steel that was used in their cannons. He told me "they had tested it, and ensured that it could not burst with any amount of Black Powder overcharge" He told me that A&K manufactured about a dozen or so total cannons throughout the 60's, (being primarily a machine shop). The six pounder only accounted for a few of the total production. He said he did not know of any in existence until he spoke with me.
I shot several 5/8 balls and some mini-balls pictured. The cannon was always cleaned.
When I purchased the cannon, no "tools" were included.
I will include the pile of .58 cal balls and miniballs, as well as 2 coils of fuse.
I am not a dealer, but individual older guy who wants this in the hands of one who might enjoy. My mind is getting a bit "fuzzy" and I realize I should no longer be fiddling with such things. I will work with the buyer to ensure packing and shipping is done to your liking.
Buyer will be responsible for the cost of packing material, insurance and shipping - actual cost.
Most pictures are recent last month.
Please ask questions if not clear.
Check's will be held until cleared.
