Very nice work! would have liked to see the trunnions welded instead of pressed in.I get a little nervous cutting that much into the barrel .

I have to agree on pressed in only attachment of trunnions. No good.  There is another Cannonmaker on the list that uses JB weld for Trunnions.  Before you buy a tube you need to ask questions about how trunnions are attached.  They are your recoil lugs and take a great deal of force.
