I placed a want ad in the firearms section but thought I would mention it here. I’m considering several that have been offered but seeing what else might be available, maybe closer to Tennessee.

I am looking for a BP cannon. Ideally I would like to find a medium size 22-30inch tube on a field carriage and I am not locked into a particular bore diameter. It needs to be a safe and shootable cannon. I may be open to other cannons or tubes that would need to be built out to a field carriage and may also consider smaller cannons.. I have a wide variety of trade items, antique, contemporary, or cash. I live in Tennessee but would travel for the right deal. If you have a cannon that you have considered selling please contact me by PM with particulars. The attached photo is for example.
Thanks

Just know up front that the barrel is the cheap part.
A field carriage can run you $8000-$12000 depending on size and thats the real money part as there is a ton of handmade blacksmithing that goes into them.
A navy or garrison carriage is much less, or you can build one yourself.
 
Thanks for the input, I have located a 1/3 scale howitzer on field carriage that should work perfect for my needs! Now if I can just get it from Wisconsin to Tennessee all will be well.

You could maybe get a team of those Budweiser Clidesdales. I hear they are not out working much these days🤣
