Need a Cannon for wife!!

[Horse]

I've wanted a canon ever since I visited Gettysburg.

40 years ago my wife went with me to an advertised muzzleloader shoot near her home town, we didn’t realize it was a muzzleloading cannon shoot. She’s wanted a coehorn mortar ever since the owner let her fire it.

So, what's the problem? Get her one!

'So, what's the problem? Get her one!'

I've bought her about 10 muzzle loading rifles, some of which I haven't told her about

(i'm not sure I want to pay for the powder for a sewer pipe sized muzzleloader)

 

[Captndan]

Tell you what. Let's get together and shoot your wife's new sewer pipe. I'll pay for the powder. Is homemade OK?

This is what she needs

My wife brought the first cannon we got, and still have, it was a fathers day present. I also got a bottle of Scotch for Christmas one year only cost $400.
We now own 4 cannons and one mortar, and still keep looking at more.

Who built this beauty?

The Coehorn? This was assembled about 20 years ago. I got the barrel from someone called Cannon Mike if I remember correctly. A friend made the bed and metal work.
Fun shooter. Yes its for sale. Inquiry within.

Bed is white Oak. Metal parts are hand forged except for elevation screw. Comes with loading and firing equipment. Book “the complete cannoner” also included.

Let's talk about selling it. Private talk is OK. Thanks

A bit far for me to drive to pick up the mortar. It is a beautiful piece.

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!!

I thought "Shouldn't this be in the buy/sell/trade section?"
