I posted these pics on another thread but there has been no views there. I bought this cannon about 10 years ago at a rondy. The seller said that owner passed away and he was selling it for his wife. The bore is 1.25” and is steel lined. Jeff Tanner made me a rb mold for it. It is a real BLAST to shoot rbs through it. Tin foil loads when I just want the boom. Any ideas where this cannon was made? The carriage is well made and I think it really makes this gun real. Thanks for any replys.

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?
 
I figure it weighs around 100lbs. I shot it at the strike of midnight on News Years. 500grs of 3f wrapped in tin foil. It really rocks the valley, sound travels far out here. I don’t shoot RBs anymore because I ran out of 1f powder.
