    Twelve Apostles

    Sorry to be late to this thread but I have an 11 Apostle one. Why 11, I don't know but Syke Sutler made it for me years ago and its just been hanging on the wall. It has one meant for priming powder. The leather can be dyed. Anybody care to make an offer? When I get dressed up I'm in US Civil...

    Swivel Gun

    It is a hoot to be in the concussion section for the 1812. I believe that's the actual name for it. I didn't get to hear much of the music since the cannon aren't close and we were wearing hearing protection. We had our own conductor who had a radio connection to keep him informed and with...

    Activating older CVA large Napoleon kit cannon

    I've bought a lot of fuse from Cannon Fuse. The crackling and fast burning fuses are a lot of fun in handgonnes and small cannon. Steve

    New Documentary (sort of) About BP Cannon Shooting

    It premiered yesterday to an enthusiastic crowd. Most of the Swabettes even attended. It is next going to be shown at a festival in Rotterdam in January. This certainly isn't a documentary like Artillery Games. Watching the different groups you can see who just got or made a cannon and who has...

    New Documentary (sort of) About BP Cannon Shooting

    The world premier of 'Blasted!!! The Gonzo Patriots of Hunter S. Thompson' will be Saturday the 18th at the Denver Film Festival . The film maker is trying to have this picked up by some cable channels so hopefully it will be coming soon to a TV in your living room. I'm in it. The fellow who...

    Any Pictures of Linstocks & Handgonne Supports?

    I'm back from my trip. The blacksmithing course was a lot of fun. Here's my first attempt at a yoke: It does need some tweaking but it should mount to a 2" dowel. The gonne behind it has a 1 1/2" inch bore. I'm going to do a little more grinding and polishing before painting. The blacksmith...

    Any Pictures of Linstocks & Handgonne Supports?

    Any Pictures of Linstocks & Handgonne Supports?

    I'm going to be taking an into blacksmithing class next week. I was told that I'd have some time to work on my own projects. Two things that come to mind are a somewhat traditional linstock and a supporting yoke for my large handgonne. It has a pretty crude support right now that doesn't fir...

    What Happened to the Links?

    Before the moves there was a section of this bords that had posts of links. There was a very good Pre-Flintlock links section. One of the sticky's here even references it but it is gone. If it can be saved, it should become a sticky here since it is/was a great resource. Steve

    Cherry Stain for Curly Maple

    I just ordered the Blunderbuss kit from TVM. The fellow said he'd be sending a nice curly maple stock. Does anybody try to finish curly maple to look like cherry? 30 years ago I was a foreman of a furniture making shop. We did use some stains on maple for reasonably successful cherry looks. I...

    Testing the Tannenberg Gonne.

    I agree. I have a Tannenberg in 1018 steel from the same fellow and it is a hefty hunk of steel. I am determined to blow up a handgonne. I'm working with the same fellow and he sent me a series of 4 gonnes in 1018 with varying wall thicknesses. He also included some steel projectiles in two...

    At these prices we all can own cannons!

    When you get your barrels, please check them carefully. There was a long thread on another board where someone got one with the geometry so off the liner was almost sticking through the breech. Grey Star did make it right and sent a replacement barrel but he had to fight a bit to get it. I can...

    Dixie Cannons

    You are right. Hern only sells the larger ones. Dixie resells lots of products. The .50 caliber Yorktown I got from Cannon-Mania was labelled Traditions and I think it was made in Spain. (The box is long gone.) I did a search on 'Traditions Yorktown Cannon' and Cannon-Mania and Dixie were at the...

    Cannon Kits

    Their 1" Yorktown mortar, .562 Naval 24 Pounder and .30 Dahlgren Naval Cannon have wood CARRIAGES. I hope you're not planning to go Mythbusters on us and get a wooden barrel. If you have serious $'s, there are places found in the link section where you can buy barrels of any size up to full and...

    Dixie Cannons

    I have the second. Its a fun little shooter but it will lead to bigger and louder toys. Its cheaper at Cannon Mania Steve

    Source for Pedersoli parts?

    You might try [email protected] This is Flintlock Etc., which I've heard is the main importer of Pedersoli for the US. I needed a part for a Pedersoli gun which is off-topic for this forum. After striking out everywhere this place was suggested and had it. I believe a fellow, Richard...

    How About Jute for Slowmatch?

    Sportsmans Guide is selling a rather long spool of surplus jute rope. I know cotton rope is usually used for slowmatch and I've heard of hemp. I just wondered if anybody has tried jute? Steve

    Tannenberg Gonne

    You won't even mildly damage it. Even using the unholy pyrodex required by subjects of Ted Kennedy won't hurt it. I know you're using different steel than mine but it is a solid gonne. I suppose you could damage it with smokeless but that would not be a real test. I got mine back last week. It...

    Want a Lighter Field Cannon - Mountain Howitzer?

    Cpt Ed, thanks for the suggestion. I prefer Union but that is a tempting little gun. One was actually used in The Battle of Honey Springs. That's pretty amazing how one made it to Indian country since only 18 were made. It could always be explained as a 'captured' piece. A 2.25 exploding...
