    cannon

    Yes I did. I'm not an expert by any means but I have been looking at cannon's for quite a while. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a response to your value question. You might want to repost with the photos. From what I've seen over the years your cannon could sell for $3-5K. And could be...

    My swiveling beauty

    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...

    Lee 54 mold undersized

    I've been a certified loon on Black Powder since receiving my T/C .54 Renegade Kit on Christmas Day 1981. From my studies on this forum and experience with a half dozen .54 caliber smoke pole barrels. I've concluded that there is a universal truth. That truth is that there is no universal...

    Lee 54 mold undersized

    I bought the Lee .533, 410gr Minnie Ball mold 35 years ago. I already had the .530, 230gr Round Ball mold and had (and still have) great success with it. But the .533 Minnie never did shoot worth a damn in my T/C .54 Renegade. I think I tried every suggestion promoted in this thread, but never...

    RevWar 3lb Cannon Progress

    A thing of beauty! And I'll second images/video of live fire request. Enjoy making smoke! Unless you're a Redcoat!

    1/4 scale Napoleon

    Beautiful! You are truly a Master Craftsman. One question, how does it shoot? After all, making smoke with accompanying loud noises is what this forum is all about!

    Is this functional model cannon a 6 Pounder??

    If it was me I'd make sure; My whiskey supply was fully stocked and liberally tested. The night was clear and quiet. The neighbors were all asleep. My lawyer was in town and on speed dial. Then.... LIGHT THAT MO'FO' OFF!!!!!!

    New guy here….54 cal

    Welcome from Alaska and Arizona as of tomorrow! Titan Reloading might have what you are looking for. I've had the Lee .533, 410gr mold for 2 or 3 decades. That round never would group out of my .54 T/C Renegade. Then Lee came out with a .540, 415gr mold. Those brought a smile to my face!

    Thompson center help

    So My Life/Wife, the lovely RHD (Red Headed Devil) Tracey might not be joshing me. Thought she was kidding with the white cane, learning braille course and the big dog with a outlandish harness she got me for my last birthday. Having to use the end firing position at the meets. You know the...

    Thompson center help

    Not seeing a patchbox & no brass fittings you have a T/C Renegade. As to the serial numbers it is as previous posters noted. Should be on left hand side of barrel. I have two Renegades, one is a recent Frankenmuzzlestein project with a six digit serial number. The other is a kit I built in 1981...

    Here's a good bench vise for pistols - next up, I need a hand vise

    I've been using the 4" Harbor Freight vise. Adjustable eight ways from Sunday. Rotating head with two jaw styles. I think it was less than $30
