Retirement Gift!!!!!!!!!
« on: October 02, 2006, 10:31:17 AM »
 
  Was recently invited to the retirement party for a friend "Fran". We had a small cannon shoot and a great meal. After supper, Fran was presented with her retirement present. A very nicely made "Frannon" All steel barrel 16 3/4" long, aluminum carriage, and 12" steel wheels. To lend a slightly feminine touch, the barrel is painted HOT pink. Has 1 1/8" bore, sorry I forgot my goex can for the picture. Fran fired it for all to enjoy. Have urged Fran to join this forum, so she can learn to fire her "Frannon" safely.

Cat, sorry, I have no idea what kind of paint was used. I think the builder of  "Frannon" was from Tulsa, Ok. I was just a guest at the cannon shoot and supper.  boomer
