Yes, is it a small bore? Is it something recreational, I'm looking to dip my toes
Maybe a bit...
Describe what you are looking to do?
Salute? BP? When you say small bore... some of us think of that as 2" and weighing 1000 lbs on a carriage.
Or maybe a .50 on a small salute carriage?
Do tell more. There are definitely a bunch of us!
Cheers,
Sirhr

Its all about scale. just like Sirhr eluded to. A couple people around me have golf ball cannons. Low pressure cheap to shoot. Much more like a salute cannon rather than a "real one pounder"
Do not trust just anybody with cannon info. Find someone that actually knows what is going on. Too many "it will be fine" scenarios out there. Cannons are not cheap.

That's a lot of brass !
What's the bore diameter ?
No, no experience
Like the above said, what do you want to do with it?

every home needs a few of these on the property .
It's around 120mm.
Here is the breech after restoration. It was a major job to bring it back. But got it to close like a fine piece of British Empire Machinery should.

I might be in love. That is awesome.
Some cool cannon.
I’ve crewed some, but don’t own one (yet). A good group check out is the Black Powder Cannon and Mortar page on Gray Beard’s Outdoors Forum. It is sponsored by Seacoast Artillery. Defenitely read all of the pinned threads first.
Cannonmn, Zulu, Domonic, and double d are a huge wealth of information, especially on history.

Government wouldn't let me take my triple 7s with me when we parted ways but I'm a red-blooded American so....
