I Bought a Cannon.

This one is the steel 1/3 scale version of the M1841 6-pounder field gun was a bronze smoothbore muzzle-loading cannon that was adopted by the United States Army in 1841 and used from the Mexican-American War to the American Civil War. Some were rifled to shoot the James round, but most were smooth-bore. The M1841 was the most common feild artillery piece in the Civil War.

That just cannot possibly get old! When I was a kid my father and I finished out a carbide Canon kit. You know, the one that used to be in the back of American Hunter magazines that you get from the NRA. We had some wonderful times with that thing and it just doesn't seem to compare to something like this. The guy did a beautiful job on your canon! If I might ask though, It only seemed as though your shooting partner tamped the ball down the muzzle 4 or 6 in. Why so shallow? God bless you both and stay safe!

Wait!... our esteemed Prez has said repeatedly that you can't have one! Lol

Looks like a 1/2 scale six Pounder to me. I have a true 1/3 scale six pounder, and it is smaller for sure, with a one inch bore. If you want more fun at night, put a wad of steel wool on top of the charge!

For maximum distance the barrel should be at 45 degrees.
