    removing inletting black

    I used isopropal (spelling ?) alchohol. Hold the stock vertical, muzzle down. Pour alcohol from the top and scrub with toothbrush. The inlet black will coagulate and roll off. Dont' be cheap and try to recycle the alcohol. All you will do is redistribute the coagulated inlet black, back to your...

    our "new" cannon

    Thats a fine looking piece of workmanship. Give us some details on where you bought it and/or how you built it. Did you research your barrel mfg. method and if so could you share with us the mfg and the process? Did they use white oak or red oak? Is it a No.1 "Modified" carriage?

    Ordnance/Parrott Rifle does NOT mean "rifled"

    Does anyone know of a cannon barrel supplier that offers a Parrott and/or Ordnance Rifle that have sleeves that are truly rifled? I have called several barrel suppliers and it seems that "rifle" does not mean "rifled". "Parrott Rifle" or "Ordnance Rifle" means only it looks like the type that...

    Can one use lead from batteries to make lead balls

    How'd you get so lucky to get a good woman that'll take stuff to the center. I don't know. But my first guess is that life is so great, I'm so winderful and she is so happy to have me as her husband, she does it because she l-o-v-e-s me. My second guess is that she knows that if she does not do...

    Can one use lead from batteries to make lead balls

    I know you guys are getting a real "Charge" out of this, ok stop with the electrical jokes. :: My wife was going to take them to the recycling center on the 23rd of this month. After looking at them set in my garage for 3 weeks I thought I had come up with a revolutionary idea that would turn...

    Economy cannon firing or How to take a cheap shot!

    Here is my question based on 2 possible types of cannons for firing/target practice, not just making a "rackit". In order to fire either one of the below described cannons, what type of ammunition and amount of powder would you use to achieve an acceptable level of accuracy at a dist of ~200...

    STOLEN CANNON RECOVERED!!!

    The acorn does not fall far from the tree. I guess that all of us would consider a proper father and son activity of building something together then enjoying it. Seems they just decided to steal it and enjoy it. You'd think that after saving all that time and money not having to build or buy it...

    I have 2 balls and ones bigger than the other

    Here are two cannon balls I have had since I was a kid. I did not dig them up from anywhere. The little one was picked up while on vacation sometime in the '70's (I don't know where) and the larger one I cannot remember where it came from. The big one has a brass 1" plug in it with 2 little...

    Advice for a new builder

    OK....I have been considering building a flint longrifle for about thirty years (honestly), and I think I am about ready to actually do it. I am looking at a classic longrifle ala Dickert or Haines in .36 or .40 caliber, light, fancy, as fine as I can possibly make it. I would like to hear from...

    a nice place for cannons

    I'm not a cannon expert but I do know how to poke around on the internet and talk to people and gain a little insight into stuff, so here goes... In short, these cannons are not proper PC and dimension/engineering correct cannons. They are "hoaky" little pcs. of movie manure. Mt. Howitzers had a...
