    they are a fun thing, had a 1 inch 20 inches long, similar style never trusted it enough to actually shoot a ball due to the bore being rough but great signal cannon, sold it and made one 1 inch bore at 18 inches long, the bore was reamed and honed, made a mold for balls and shoot it at the lake Canada day, across the lake its amazing how far it actually goes, for the price this one was a good buy, hard to make anything these days for that price

    So, I'm the lucky guy who bought it - and having lots of fun with it. I've fired raw blanks - birdseed load and even one lead cannon ball. With lots of research, it has all worked out well. Would love to hear more from Marstar. Why have they designated it as antique? Why do they feel feel it is high quality steel barrel? What led them to determine it was shootable? Why did they advertise it as .75 cal when the bore is only .742? So much I'd like to know about it's history, but Marstar hasn't been answering my queries. I'm real happy with my purchase, but sure am curious about the claims made in the ad.

    Thanks for sharing the video. You sure are a lucky guy. I have always wanted a cannon that big. If you ever want to sell it, please let me know. A man always needs a cannon.

    A cannon is classified as an antique under the firearms act because it is considered a black powder matchlock to my understanding. If it was percussion to set it off, it would be NR. Hope that helps.

    I was pissed off that I didn't get it, I placed my order at 2pm the day it went up for sale! It would've been a great companion for a. Brown Bess, then I could've loaded both guns from one bullet mould. It's a little sketchy though that's its a homemade, unknown steel, it will be hard to determine how hot the loads can get before the thing becomes unsafe....
