I got these cannon barrels from the estate of a deceased gunsmith and they are committed to being cylindrical of dimension though I can return the muzzles to represent something of historical accuracy.
They are: 14 3/8 inches in length
1 5/16 inches barrel external diameter
2 1/4 inches across the bell-mouth muzzle
The bore on the one finish bored example is 7/8+ inch.
As he was an accomplished smith and they have breech plugs, I assume he intended them to be firing examples though I could find no plans. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to find out that he was on his way to something with a historical background and will construct the first carriage as such if it turns out to be the case.
