Cannon lock - Machined steel

You can install this lock on most 1 inch bore (and up)  barrels.  A cannon lock allows you to fire the cannon by lanyard.  It makes cannon firing safer, as the cannon is fired "on demand".  The lanyard is connected to the hammer, and when pulled the hammer strikes a "percussion cap" (winged musket cap) which was placed on the nipple.  The "fire ball" from the musket cap travels down the fuse hole to ignite the powder in the barrel.  It can be installed in different orientations.  Click here to see additional pictures.


Click on picture to left see larger view.  The fuse hole (vent) on the cannon barrel needs to be drilled and taped to 5/16 x 24 threads to match the standard nipple shown below.

Cannon lock $ 31.75
(Includes cannon lock, lanyard, nipple, brass 1/4-20 mounting screw and Instructions.)  (You need to drill & tap 2 holes)
