Capt Thighbiter Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Didn't mean to slam the work YOU did, HM, you obviously did your reaserch and then some. Me, I never fired a live round, and never want to! Stricktly blanks for Faires and Festivals here. Still, "The more Complete Cannoneer" is a must read for anyone firing black powder cannon, blanks or otherwise. Good luck with 'em Mate Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Barrels Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I sure didn't know about the removeable breach, was that in the book too Harbormaster ? I better reread it in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarborMaster Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 For Sub Scale and modern replicas theres alot of rules ., and Switlick is coming out with an updated book which I am sure will cover them. Switlik doesnt cover the breach., I'm sure thats NSSA . Casting solves the trunnion problem., but it too then opens up a whole new can of worms. For example you should pour vertical not horizontal.., but then the barrel should be sleeved., I am still learning too. Sorry. I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Red Cat Jenny Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Bump. Hoping Harbormaster is all recovered and adjusted to semi retirement? How goes the cannon? Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
