Johnathan Atwood Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 What cheer all, I have many library gigs to do this summer and am looking for some great guns, either firing or Quaker guns, for my presentations. Any suggestions? I am talking with one sutler about a Quaker gun, but do not want to over-tax him as he is recovering from cancer treatment. Ideally I am looking for a four to six pounder. Keep you powder dry, John Atwood

Keep you powder dry, John Atwood Arrrrrrrrrr ye lookin for real cannon or quakers? Hern Iron Works makes a sleeved real cannon that I've had great luck with. They are sold as display only...I have not shot munitions out of them, just blank cartridge. They're reasonable and ship out of Idaho. Check out their site.http://www.hernironworks.com/cannons.html. I think you'll find them well used in our community. I have purchased 4 myself with n'er a problem. Iron Hand's Plunder Purveyor of Quality Goodes of questionable origins

Capt Thighbiter Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Hie thee hence to greybeardoutdoors.com forums and go the the cannon forum. There are many builders there and several that make Quackers, whch are likely less $$$$ then functioning BP cannon. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
