Parrott remodel pictures

[h4198]

Had my muzzel heavy 1" bore cannon remodeled with a Parrott sleeve and a removable breech plug. Redid the elevation screw, to a better location. Hope to have a proper carriage this summer. h4198 .

It needs some real Ghetto rims with spinners and some Eagle 215x60x14". You also need to tow it behind a Neon the same color. :bow:

Rock and roll dude :grin:

Took the remodeled Parrott to the range for the first time Saturday. Worked the load up slowly, finally setteled on 300gr of ff Goex, behind a patched 1" steel ball. Still don't have a rear sight, so mostly fired for effect, rather then accuracy. The spring loaded cannon lock, and the removable breech plug worked very well. Do have some side to side movement in the trunnions I will have to take care of. But all in all a very enjoyable day. h4198

Exellent, glad to hear it shot fine. Did you trailer it or is your range where you keep the gun.

I bet it would turn heads on the road

It's about 40 miles out to where I shoot. Usually haul it in the back of my pickup. This trip I did haul it on my trailer. I live in the Kansas city suburbs, so it gets lots of looks, and waves. Usually haul it with the barrel fully depressed, some people may not like this thing pointing at them. h4198
