.75 naval gun 15" long, 2.5" at the breech. After Just sitting around for more the a year, I finally got her off the shelf in the garage. she was pretty vocal, but recoil due to heavy brass wheels & 0ak carriage was so so. Here are a videos and a photo of her in action.

Hey all that noise woke my wife up!!!

Never play a youtube sitting in a motel room while the wife is still sleeping. I tried to blame El Caz, but she didn't go for it.

I hate when that happens, I always blame it on the dog.

Excellent! Beautiful gun and great videos!

Same charge for shot two? It seems to have a little sharper recoil impulse. Or maybe it's just the camera angle. I'm assuming these were blanks loads, any plans to shoot it with ball?

You held off shooting this for a year? That's about 364 days longer than I would have made it!

Are you going to polish it back to presentation finish, or keep firing it and let nature take its course?

The second charge was sightly larger, about a table spoon and half...yes, blanks loads and of course ball shot... Yes, held off for a year a few things held me back first the move to the new house, then the weather and most important I'm still trying to shoot of the rest of my arsenal. Na, no polish for this one.. Thanks for your questions and complements.

We have quite a few of these smalller guns running around the board. Anyone interested in a postal shoot?

Can't start until I find my gun. It's some where in the storage locker.

EL Caz 66 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 12, 2008, 12:26:56 PM »

WELCOME to the board! What flavor of cannons/mortars do you like to shoot?

Gatto_Gunmaker · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2008, 04:14:51 PM »

Thanks, I am lucky, I have 22 different models of guns and shooting with all scale models.
The little swivel gun of Cazador 66, reminds me a model that I have.

Gatto_Gunmaker,

Welcome to the board. The "Gatto" name seems familiar. Is this name connected to the "OG" stamped in some bronze cannon tubes from Argentina?

EL Caz 66 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2008, 06:01:23 PM »
