Join Antique arms, they will have lots of answers for you.

20 years in the AHAA. Good bunch. Very rarely get their cannons out in the top of the south....

Put in the mold then cast around it I guess. Not really 100% sure how it's done. Love to see them being made.

He's a single chap, that's why it's in the living room. Lucky bugger.

Now that's what I call cannons, not those mini pea shooting firecracker jobs.
