Dom;

That is a good looking unit and from what I understand about the Lyle gun, it kicks like Hell.

Thanks Bill, They do when they fire the original weight projectile. I think the projectile weighs about 18 lbs or so. Paul Barnett of South Bend Replica's has a book on Lyle Guns, and he's done a bit of testing with them. I test fired the one above with blank charges [1300 grains of cannon grade] and it didn't move at all. Dom
