Skratch,Your project turned out very well. Would surely like to see you fire several rounds, guess you could say it would be a blast!!! Fritz
By the time i get it done maybe this hot weather will have simmered down a bit so I can get out and make some smoke.

Thanks Boats. I've got it apart now for the finish work. Decided to lose the lifting handle, seemed a good idea at the time but I think it would look better on a barn door.
Going to make some other parts in keeping with a more complete traditional look.

Having shot these cannon's for the last 30 years you need the handles on the side of the trail for lifting and moving it. One on each side that way the wife/girlfriend can help move it as well as crewing the gun

Finally got the project finished.
It's based on a Federal piece but I figured the Johnny Rebs must have captured a few so I put the C.S. on it.

Now does your tube have a seamless liner? If so was it cast in Place or set in after casting? If cast in place was the tube poured verticals or horizontally ?

A seamless liner cast in place, don't know whether vertical or horizontal. The bore was pitted, I inserted another seamless liner reducing the bore diameter to 2".

Thanks to all for the comments.
Sportslube, the load is 800 gr. FFG, projectile is a 2 1/2" x 1 15/16" concrete cylinder, don't know the weight. Pic's are powder only noise maker and the projectile and powder in aluminum foil sleeve. The 1st shot with projectile, aimed at the backstop on our 25 yard range, hit high on the berm and off into the open desert to parts unknown.
I need to make a sight for elevation, next project I guess.
It was a fun build.
