Wow, nothing but wowIf y'all remember @redbob and I made a road trip to PA to pickup a cannon last fall. Well after 3 plus months I finally got it restored. I field stripped it, sanded all the wood down and applied a 1/6 inch coat of marine epoxy, then sanded that, primed and painted. All the hardware was removed wire brushed, primed and painted. I had to get a prolong rope, the sponge & rammer chain and ear plates. I made the ramrods, sponges, wormer and trail pole. Then put it all back together. Well today I finished it. Going to try and test fire it on Wed and will be sure to take and post video

@redbob and I just returned from a 1740 mile road trip to yankee land (PA) to pickup a full scale firing replica of the US Model 1841 field gun. This old girl was built a long time ago but is still in great condition. We finally got her home and now I get to start the restoration on her. This...civilwartalk.com
