Hi all,

I'm in a rev war artillery unit, and decided as they were common on the frontier seemingly, to accquire a swivel gun. After no small wait, finally got my bronze gun from Gilmore(doesnt have to be sleeved, and its oh so pretty). Built a pedastal mount for it for education purposes since transporting a ship of a fort wall is difficult at best, and it stores much easier.
Bore is 1.7(ish)inches, meaning golf balls at 1.68 inches fit and fire just fine. I use 1 ounce of powder per charge, and make my quills with straws, tape, and finely ground powder.
And before anyone asks, 1100 with the yoke mount.

Ohhhh! A thing of true beauty and grace!!!

Some thoughts are; more pictures pleeezzzze, contact information for seller and jealousy like I haven't felt since Theresa Foy picked Joe Zinsly over me to be her boyfriend in kindergarten.

It's been a while since I threw a temper tantrum over something shiny that I wanted. I believe this 'want' merits one.

Time to practice my 'breathe holding & boo boo lip.'
