Thanks DD but please don't call me OLD! "Mature"will do nicely, thank you!
Well now seriously folks, glad to be back in a marketing capacity here. My webstore is at springfieldarsenal.net but that's mostly modern ordnance stuff, so I'll mention a few of the unlisted oldies we have in stock. There are a few of the 40" plus 40mm barrel sections left. These have excellent bores as I think they are unfired, only stored for a long time. I put up a photo of them recently, will try to find it again. They weigh about 90 lbs. each, cost $500. ea., but just for you, we offer FREE SHIPPING!
For those with bigger ambitions and wallets, we have a few Navy 40mm full-length cannon barrels, including chamber,no demil whatever, with slightly damaged water jackets. No one we know has found a use for the water jackets, so they usually remove them on receipt, by unscrewing the bushings on the ends. These are $1800. ea. while they last, you pay shipping. We'll line up the cheapest truck shipping available for the 8-foot, 350 lb. tubes.
For you collectors, lots of odds and ends are here. Anyone nearby may want to make an appointment at our Alexandria, VA warehouse to browse when we are in town. One artifact that comes to mind is a very nice 9-pounder double-ended bar shot, original, salvaged from a French shipwreck in the Norfolk, VA area, about 50 years ago. Again there's a photo and I'll look for it, special price for a limited time, $1100.
We've got cannons too. There's a 42-inch,230 lb. rifled "mule gun" of cast steel with Afghan marks, as that's where it came from, returned with some of the first Special Forces to visit Afghanistan (tube only.) Actually there are a few of these, $5500. ea. And there are many other cannons, large and small.
Lots more stuff, but gotta run now; to be continued.
