These picture are all to enjoy, especially my Brothers in arms Tropico & Rickk... carriage built by Len from Duck Island Cannon Works... Barrel is a 13" OAL x 3" DIA. x 1" Bore, all Brass... Sorry no powder can on these photo's, Len just email them to me this afternoon from his workshop. I will be taking a drive up to Len's shop for pickup on Friday... Grin from ear to ear  ;D  Ed

OUTSTANDING. Yours is the Cadillac. These are terrific guns wait until you hear it., thee "Power to Weight ratio" on these provides for some recoil as well I actually use my little ropes to stop it  ;D Congratulations Ed and to Len.

And then, there were 3  :D

Dunno about how Tropico will vote, but my vote is that yours wins !.

How about a close-up of the rings... are those the new rings that Len was working on?

Thanks, To Len she looks outstanding... Sorry Terry C. No paint for this puppy, the natural color of Tasmanian Black wood is way too purtty to paint... It would be a sin to do so... To Tropico & Rickk  No loser or weeners here...
