We are making basic, no frill carriages as seen holding Southpaw's SAMCC below.
I was looking at the videos we took last week and yes indeed Southpaws gun is bigger.
His was made a few years ago. We are continually adding more accessories, altho, slowly. We now offer axles and wheels for his carriage out of either wood or brass. (you can see the preplanned axle holes in his carriage). We are making capsquares now in 5/8" wide brass. Each time we get an order for one, we make at least 25. It makes for slow delivery at first, but, allows for immediate delivery for later orders. DD is right, to make these basic carriage kits feasible, we have to jig up and make multiples. The labor for each is reduced, allowing for competitive prices. We have added some wood working equipment and plan to add more. Before the end of the summer, we plan to have all barrels and all carriages in stock. We did just complete 100 each carriages for the BPFC 'Backyard Cannon Fun' package. They are great gifts to introduce folks to black powder shooting. The SAMCC barrel in 50 and 69 cal are going into production next week, with basic carriages and accessories right behind them.
Anyone who needs a 50 or 69 cal SAMCC barrel and/or carriage for the Postal Shoot, please let me know as soon as possible.
