Morko has fasinated me since I was 12. I finaly decided to make one

Here is my Morko

In this shot my repo is displayed with THE origanal in Stockholm Sweden. I sent this one to a good friend who taught me to cast online , he lives in Stockholm and set up the meeting at the museum.

The lady is the curator of the museum .
It was a thrill for me to have my work in such company!
It still is.

Freekforge, I'm getting close on my favorite gonne, which you will recognize. Will post when she is all complete. Really like yours!
The Morko is indeed awesome. Makes me want to build a bronze foundry ...

I have a coupla FreekForge's nice gonnes and RocklockI just finished casting and boring a Morko for me, so, other than those my favorite at the moment is this bronze museum copy of The Tannenburg Gonne.

The oldest definitively-dated gun in Western civilization, in 1399 the town's castle the gun was named for in present-day Germany was knocked down on top of the arm (it was at the bottom of a well).

This exacting foot-long replica, and so labeled, from Germany has quite-close dimesions to the original. There's an efficiency-promoting smaller diameter powder chamber behind the main bore which is .66 caliber. The original bore tapered up to .70. This is serial-numbered and proof-marked for 28 grain blackpowder as well as 1.8 grain smokeless powder charges.

Bill I can't wait to see yours when its finished I need to make one like yours for myself before I get my surgery in march . GS love the looks of that gonne my dad and I are talking about forge welding one like yours and also a tabor style one. Alden you just had to show a tannenberg didn't you :haha: I tried to make one my mill didn't want to cooperate and I am still without a tannenberg.
