South Bend Replicas 1781 US Cannon - Sleeved 1 1/2" bore

[Nathanael Logsdon]

Cannon tube made by South Bend Replicas. This is actually their full-scale swivel gun model. It is marked "1781 U.S." on the top. It has a 1/2" steel sleeve and the bore is 1 1/2 inches. Tube is about 30" long. It makes a powerful boom with only about 800 grains of powder. I have used it on a naval carriage for years, but the carriage needs to be replaced. I have some tools, but the sponge and linstock need replaced. I have a custom made worm for it. I have some steel ball bearings as well that can go with it, among other odds and ends. Asking $1300 OBO.

This is way more fun than a custom long rifle, which usually costs more than this... Some events will even pay you to bring it! Carriage plans are readily available online. I have live-fired it in the past with steel roundball and grape made of 50 cal roundballs. It is incredible!

Selling to feed my antique car habit. (The Model T needs parts!!)

Can't afford it, but I bet I could convince Mike to trade you for that horse in the first picture!
