Percussion Ignition Lock

[totallycustom]

Does anyone fire their cannon with a percussion cap type setup?  I havent noticed any really and thought that would be a nice way to do it.  Lets see some pics if you have them. -TC-

   Try the ( 3/4 Scale Field Cannon ) thread at the bottom of this page.   I've only tried it without a charge.  But it does send fire down the vent.

I would be more in favor of using a .22 blank for ignition.  This would make it easier to clean the vent between shots.

Here is a pic of my little parrot, with #11 ignition. Percussion would just require a different screw in nipple. Since this pic was taken, the it has been converted to 209, with the same spring loaded setup.  Boomer

Found another picture of the same cannon, converted to 209.  Boomer

Here's mine.  I'm taking this 2.15-inch BP cannon to see if I can sell it at the Wanenmacher Tulsa Gun Show this coming weekend (3/31 & 4/1).

In years past, I did gun shows.  In the course of life I talked with a fellow who filled two tables with double rifles.  Most ran from 3 to 5 grand.  He made very few sales at the show, but most were made the week after.

I would expect that selling a cannon would be similar.
