$2500 or best offer. Wondering if I can turn this into some kind of a smoker? It's not functional of course but will fire black powder loads.
Sent a pic to the wife and said " Don't know where I'm going to put it yet but I bet we will be the only ones on the block to have one!"

Her response was "Can ya cook on it"? Just love her sometimes!

I wonder how much black powder that takes for a single shot.

I'd put it in my front yard with a sign, "Stay Of The Grass!"

Oh I can think of all sorts of fun things to do with it. Best idea so far is I have a new grandson. How many kids can say “oh yeah, well my grandpa gave me a cannon!” Make my son in law find a place for it! Big Grin

You could always wait 'em out on the sale until they put it on Craig's list with a "Come and Take it!" ad...

If it's there long enough I may try to do a little bartering. I will do a smoked rib dinner for the membership in exchange for a great deal on a cannon!!

I would jump if it was 20mm. Cheaper to shoot.

Yes. I would by it. Can you pm me if you don't buy it? It's been a few weeks since I've done something stupid.

You could resell it or rent it out to that guy that parked a tank in his yard and upset the HOA.

I have seen much more accurate homemade pieces of artillery. Personally, I would take a pass.

I did a double take when I saw the area code. I know exactly where that pic was taken! (I grew up in Duluth)
