I have never dealt with them, I have seen their web site,

their cannons look to be a little on the crude side,

without actually seeing one it's hard to say as to quality, 

most improtantly ask him what type of steel liner is in the casting?

is it a seamless liner & how thick? 

How is the liner breeched? 

is it shrunk and welded or just welded?

is the cannon cast around the liner or is it bored and inserted?

what type of prices is he giving you?

how big a cannon are you looking for ?

have you checked some of the sponsors here at the site?

Find out if is shrunk in and welded or just press fit and welded, there are issues with press fit and corrosion/rust
How thick a wall on tubing?

Many company's cast this way as long as bore is perfectly centered it will be o.k.
what can happen is if the breech slipped during casting the breech end will be way off and throw the point of aim way off.

there is a discussion on breech attachment on this thread.

You need to ask specifically if this guys cannons comply with the safety Regualtions of the NSSA.

Based on the pictures he posts on his website his pieces do not demonstrate much quality.
