I have owned this for several years. As I am getting much older and of poor health, I want someone else to enjoy.

American Revolutionary Six Pounder Field Cannon Manufactured by A&K, Tucson, Az around 1960.

Weight = 17 pounds Barrel = machined from a solid billet of steel

Overall Length = 26 1/2"

Overall Height = 10 3/4"

Overall Width = 15 1/2"

Carriage is seasoned hardwood

Diameter of wheels (dished) = 10 3/4"

Bore = 5/8"

Maximum Range= 3,500 Yards

Cannon fuse = 1/8"

Barrel Diameter at discharge end = 1.660"

Barrel Diameter at fuse end = 2.00"

Trunion arm diameter is 0.750"

Carriage wood sides are 2' x 3/4"

Carriage width = 4 1/4"

A few years ago, I was able to track down the "A" part of A&K Manufacturing. He was pretty old. He said they were proud of the "special" grade steel that was used in their cannons. He told me "they had tested it, and ensured that it could not burst with any amount of Black Powder overcharge" He told me that A&K manufactured about a dozen or so total cannons throughout the 60's, (being primarily a machine shop). The six pounder only accounted for a few of the total production. He said he did not know of any in existence until he spoke with me.

I shot several 5/8 balls and some mini-balls pictured. The cannon was always cleaned.

When I purchased the cannon, no "tools" were included.

I will include the pile of .58 cal balls and miniballs, as well as 2 coils of fuse.

I am not a dealer, but individual older guy who wants this in the hands of one who might enjoy. My mind is getting a bit "fuzzy" and I realize I should no longer be fiddling with such things. I will work with the buyer to ensure packing and shipping is done to your liking.

Buyer will be responsible for the cost of packing material, insurance and shipping - actual cost.

Most pictures are recent last month.

Still for sale, forgot I had it. Have not pushed it any.
 
Thank all of you for the interest in this cannon. I am not sure how to close this thread. The cannon has not been sold and I feel like I might wait a bit. Re-evaluate the cannon and maybe try again at a later date. I kinda have to evaluate how I feel going forward. You see, I fired this off for the holidays and it was more fun than I had expected or remembered. Just being honest here. At this point it may be kinda nice for some relative to shoot this off at my funeral. Go out with a bang so to speak.

Again thanks
