Was over at Grey-Star Cannon Barrels and developed a real case of the wants for their 1/3rd scale 6 pounder barrel. It's a 1" bore, 23" long and weighs 35 pounds. Cast ductile iron with a steel liner. Any of you have experience with this barrel? Or any of their barrels? Would sure appreciate your opinions. http://greystarcannontech.homestead.com/star.html

I have one of there 1/2 scale barrels . Shoots fine no problems. I think they are a good value. I just may get one of the 1/3 scale barrels also.

Waiting to hear back from Grey-Star.... sent them an e-mail yesterday. I find it interesting that their web site gives no phone number nor any indication of where they are physically located. Will be ordering that 1/3rd scale barrel and probably building my own naval carriage.

When I posted Grey-Star on our resource list I noted the lackof a location also.

Hern Iron works also has tubes and they are west coast. they are also listed on our resource list.

Yes, I had gone through all of the links including Hern. Gray-Star was the only one that I can afford at this time. Even at that I will have to order the barrel this month and then the carriage next month. Their 1/3rd scale 6 pounder with a 1" bore certainly is on the smaller end of the scale but it should satisfy my longstanding case of the "I wants".

i ended up selling this one a couple of weeks ago.
this is the carriage that i built for my greystar 1/3
scale. i will probably purchase a 1/2 scale from
them in the near future.
