cannon barrel

[mauserman026]

i seen a barrel on ebay he says its forged are forged barrels any good

[cannonmn]

I'll try to find it there; we need a lot more information.  If it is from South America, I've known people to write "forged" when they mean "cast."

[cannonmn]

Sorry need more info, all I could find was

"Chaotic Ultra Forged Unity Glacier Plains Heat Cannon "

and I'm sure you don't want to shoot that, whatever it is.

go under black powder cannon or cannon barrels on ebay i get on there every day looking

Sure does say forged black powder cannon...don't have a clue what it means

[dan610324]

for me its very difficult to believe that its really forged ,
 just to make the tools for it would cost a fortune .
so my guess is also that its cast .

but should it be forged so would it be really good

[cannonmn]

I never found it........

Thanks, didn't come up under "black powder cannon" wonder why?  Anyway this looks like an amateur casting job, maybe even a trade school project, Foundry 101.  The owner obviously doesn't know much if he thinks it is forged.  I'd stay away, no tellin' what kind of quality you'll get-I'd have to assume "not much."

[dan610324]

yeah , most probably a casting .
a very low quality casting also , no lines are sharp and from some angles it even doesnt look round .
the grinding of the parting line is very sloppy done
lowest possible quality is my opinion , I would never dare to shoot that thing .
