only (cast)
The barrels below are all cast in solid bronze
and then machined & finished.
They all fire using black powder and
fuse.
Some may be adapted to use the brass cannon lock (lanyard with
musket caps).
Cannons are sold in "finished" state. The bores are bored and they are "Antique" polished (Highly polished versions are also available). Some pictures are from barrels just poured at the foundry. Inherent in the casting process are small pits and roughness. This is to be expected and is normal. This "Antique" finish is highly desirable.
The larger barrels are cast
out of gunmetal (88% Copper, 10% Tin, 2% Zinc) They are sand cast and
poured solid vertically. Howitzers can have powder chambers if requested.
This is only recommend for shooting balls. When you put a
chamber in, it makes the bore more difficult to sponge properly. For
shooting blanks a smaller straight bore is recommended. Trunnions are cast with
the barrel, not welded. Everything is cast in the mold.
Bronze barrels aren't typically sleeved as steel and bronze don't mix
well.
Vent (fuse hole) holes are
not drilled
This is easily accomplished using a hand drill
