New Waterfowling Gun
 

Certified 100% original condition.

Owned by a Parker fellow.

Got eyebrows?? :shock:

These guys with their puny eight and ten gauges....sheese.

Firing the Evening Gun. I'll drink to that.

Is that last part right? Part 2 looked OK.

Damn Damascus barrels Bill - they'll do that every time.

Boy ,She sure looked pretty before the " fire " Hows she look now ?:eek:

I understand the cannon has a steel inner sleeve and a brass casing and when loaded with black powder is indestructable. This was a full broadside by the master and commander with no adverse effect except to the windows within a five mile radius.

These are made in the Missouri Ozarks. Just the thing for the boys to take to Tunica Mississippi for decoying ducks.

What do you use for a projectile or shot charge?

Dean, its not mine and the person in the photo is not me, but how about cannister and grape for a load?

The pictured shot was a black powder blank.

Hot time in the old town tonight??
 

Wow- might have to change the old Military satchel charge based expression of "Fire in the hole" to "Fire in the whole" da whole Eastern sector of Kansas- Mama Mia that's some hefty load- what F grade Black Powder- pyrodex? A cannister charge perhaps? Sorta makes me think about a John Belushi WW11 spoof movie- where the CO says "Let's go out and blow up something really big"!--:duck::duck::duck:

The locale is eastern Missouri, a little south of St Louis and along the Mississippi. Perhaps the gun is intended to recreate the siege of Vicksburg.
