armorer77,

They look good, but to me the trunnions look to be set too far back on the long barrel.
not criticism just an observation.

Honest criticism accepted , I set the trunnions just ahead of the center af balance . I don't have prints , I am trying for a good shooter . I will move the next set forward . Armorer77

These look good, Ed. I fire the .75 cal you sold me all the time, very sturdy, good shooter, as I'm sure these are too! Your preponderance of weight slightly behind the trunnions is fine, especially after it is loaded with a projo...Like Double D says, if it works, it's all good. As far as looks, it does look a bit off set, but I think it looks like a good, solid shooter, both of them. BoomLover

What a concept, Tim, a Parrott Derringer! Need a Parrott Howitzer, and a Mortar, too! A well rounded battery, of course, would have to include all of the above. Did anyone ever make a Parrott Dalghren? Me thinks I carry it to extremes...BoomLover
