Need a Cannon for wife!!

[BuffaloSoldier]

Since I have acquired two ML rifles, my wife has decided that she needs a Cannon. We live in town, so can't get too large. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you get 2 ML rifles and all of a sudden your wife wants a cannon? Some how a Bugs Bunny - Elmer Fudd cartoon comes to mind. If she ever says "Hunny look in here ....DON"T

You will need to give some time for some of the members to pick themselves off the floor. What a post!!! You will be getting a lot of help on this question, and maybe a picture request of the wife. This is remarkable.

Get her a CVA or Traditions miniature in kit form. Tell her how smart she is when it's completed.

Guys, I didn't realize how funny that sounded when I posted. Hope it brightened your days! But, I am serious, I really need to get a Cannon for her!!

Thanks for the tip, I doubt our local P.D. and Sheriff's Department would appreciate her parking a full size gun in the yard!!

Is she going to play Molly Pitcher or Anne Bonney?

Dixie gun works has em. Or a nice gatling gun might make her happy. They got those as well. They can be to scale to avoid the sheriff inquiry.

How about some info with regards to bore size and price limit? That should help you get some replies that will help the Mrs.

I have several small cannons I would be willing to sell. All are signal cannon only but one could be adapted to shoot .50 cal. projectiles. PM me if interested.

Dixie had several sorts, scales and prices in their catalog. If iron be sure it has a steel liner. Be safe. Might want to consider a mortar?

What size? you go from minis, 1/3 scale, 1/2 scale ETC. Then are you wanting a field cannon or a naval cannon?

Not sure, right now too afraid to ask!!

I have three cannons and can speak of the fun a mortar brings! We had one that shot the four or six ounce tomato paste cans filled with concrete. We had a house on the water and at least once a week we’d have competitions trying to hit logs or random debri out in the middle of the bay. You can buy ones that shoot golf balls too! Totally fun.

They burn less powder
They don’t weigh so much to be a PIA to move
They are EASY to clean
They cost less
Etc

I vote for a full scale howitzer. Go big or go home. Want to trade wives.

Dear Hunter, I've had her since 8th grade! She's just getting me broke in! Been with her +45 married years, plus Jr. High and Senior High.

I have his golf ball mortar. It's a stellar, fun piece.
