To unspike a piece.-- If the spike is not screwed in or clinched, and the bore is not impeded, put a charge of powder of one third the weight of the shot and ram junk wads over it with a handspike, laying on the bottom of the bore a strip of wood with a groove on the under side, containing a strand of quick match, by which fire is communicated to the charge; in a bronze gun, take out some of the metal at the upper oriface of the vent and pour sulphuric acid into the groove for some hours before firing. If this method, several times repeated, is not successful, unscrew the vent piece if it be a bronze gun, and if an iron one, drill out the spike, or drill a new vent.
YEEEEEEEEE-HAR
Does this imply that YOU are the winning bidder?
it looks like all the hardware is in pretty good shape it shouldn't be too hard to re build the carrages.
I had watched it for the last 15 minutes solid and my heart was beating fast when I finally switched to my bidding window and counted down those last few seconds.
I still can't hardly believe I won, it all seems too good to be true :thumbsup:
