GBO (Greybeard outdoors)has a very active cannon board !
You'll get all the answers you need .
Is your interest in Rev War cannons only ? Or is how we got to that type of interesttoo ?
There is a good book called "Round Shot and Ramrods" It covers the entire pre conical bullet period .

Check the vendors for two booklets published by the Museum Restoration Service in Alexandria Bay, NY. They are in the "Historical Arms Series":
No. 4 - "An Introduction to British Artillery in North America"
No. 39 - "Grasshoppers and Butterflies - the Light 3 Pounders of Patterson and Townshend"
The "Grasshoppers" might just give you a three pounder "want"!

Gallopers ,Grasshoppers and Butterflys , Here is one I am working on now .
The carriage will fit both my Howie and my 1838 .
I will dress up a 38 someday to resemble a 3 lber .
It will be cast with Crest , Dolfins and a fancy vent field .

Do you know who else besides South Bend makes a full scale Verbruggen 3 pounder?

for an iron gun I do like the Herns Large swivel .
It is fairly cheap and has a liner . It is 320 buck iirc ?
Its not an exact scale anything as far as I know ,but it is a nice looking period piece ,depending on your level of accuracy that is needed .
For a start up group I dont think you'd be disapointed .
