Civil war cannon

[Patio]

I am thinking about purchasing an authentic, full size, shootable with projectiles civil war cannon. Who are the quality manufacturers? Is there a company that deals in the sale of authentic cannon? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is South Bend (Indiana) Ordnance Works formerly known as Barney's Cannons still in business? They were the best.

Patio,
When you say authentic, do you mean an actual antique that was in the civil war or an authentic style modern replica?

You might contact the North South Skirmish association as their members could put an army sized artillery train together if needed.
They would be able to put you on suppliers

Authentic style modern replica would probably work the best.

Thank you for the information.

Trail Rock Ordnance for a steel barrel and Gillmor Ordnance for a bronze barrel.

Oh and be ready to spend some money! The carriage will cost as much or more than just the barrel most likely.

Be prepared to shell out in the vicinity of $10,000 for an authentic oak carriage.

Yes. The N-NSA has a cannon shoot at their Spring and Fall National meets in Winchester, VA. I'd go there in person and talk to the cannon shooters to learn more. This subject requires a lot of study before "pulling the lanyard", so to speak!

You could always make a field trip to Statesville NC on 3/9. We'll be hosting a Recruit Skirmish and the Wee Beastie will be there barking at the backstop

Yes, it's a full size Parrot rifle. During the War, there was some experimentation with this size Parrot to equip cavalry and other forces that operated in rough terrain. Yes, it's accurate. We finished 2nd in Rifled Howitzer at N-SSA Nationals two years ago and first at a shoot last November in Statesville.

Hi Dave,

Would love to attend the skirmish in Statesville but I have a prior commitment that weekend.

Please give me more information on this meet.

The recruitment skirmish is sponsored by the Palmetto Sharpshooters which is a team belonging to the North-South Skirmish Association. The skirmish will be held on March 9, 2024 at the Allison Woods range in Statesville, NC. The team will provide lunch, ammunition to shoot various firearms from the American civil war, and a great time. You might be one of the chosen to light off little beastie. The cost to you is nothing - free! All that is asked is that you email the team and let us know that you are coming. Will post the email address soon as I don’t know it offhand.

Patio,
Petersen Cannons also makes a nice looking steel Mountain Howitzer too.
