heres what I got for it
« on: February 12, 2003, 11:12:48 AM »
I have a 6foot piece of seamed steel tube 5in OD and .625in wall thickness.  It has a spindle friction welded on one end.  What it is, is an Semi trailer axle.  I can heat treat it, if it would matter.  Any thoughts?

I think I would cut that welded end off and put in a threaded and pinned breech plug.  The turn the contour on the outside so it looks like your favorite field piece.

Take a look at our cannon shooting safety STICKY at the top of this forum. The safety guidelines have minimum safety standards for building blackpowder muzzle loading cannons.
