The next question is; how do we fix this.
My suggestion would be to cut the barrel off right in front of the heavy part of the trunnions, and then back bore and internally thread the back piece to receive a newly made front barrel part.

I is just to small, about 12inches long, wish it was a full size gun. But beggars can't be choosy.
as to repair, yes that would be nice if it was a large gun. Cannon hole size seems around a 22 cal size. Where do I dig? My yard was the 1st old blacksmith shop of Meridian, Tx in the 1850's. Behind the house the back yard is a spring were they watered the horses of the shop stables. I am finding buggy-wagon parts, horseshoes, old blacksmith tools, barbwire, all kinds of iron junk. Most of it is now hanging on my bunkhouse outside walls. Plus I hunt all over this central Tx area. I got the bug when I was 12 years old. My brother had a old metal detector. He handed it to me at an old fishing pond site to search. The 1st beep beep on the detector was a 18ct.gold Mason ring with a diamond in it. I was a treasure hunter from that day forward. You should see all the JUNK (treasure) around my house!!! Lord Help Me!!
