[OneBarfly]

I don't know, looks kind of pitted but plenty of rifling. Ok I will take it! Damm it! I can't say no to a milsurp.

Price seems a bit steep to me, but I guess if you really needed one - they don't come around every day!!

*Sigh*

Too big for my parkerizing tank... Besides, I don't think my wife would let me refinish it on the kitchen stove anyway.

For sale - one rifled sewer pipe, condition nasty, $4000.00. Serious enquiries only - no pipe-kickers, please.

I guess if I guy really needed a grotty 1800 pound mouse farm, and had 4 grand to drop on the project, he'd be there.

Me, not so much.

The Lieberals wanted to ban that caliber too!

I would like to find a piece of 37 or 40mm barrel 2 1/2 or 3 feet long to make a small ml cannon.....

 

[John Sukey]

Same thought. depending on length, that would make one or more muzzle loading cannon barrels, and you wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the material.

 

[tiriaq]

John, at one time Old West Scrounger had sections of demilled cannon barrels.

 

[wobbles99]

Oh man just what I need to finish my tank resto. Damn the numbers won't match.

 

[gth]

I have a LARGE RING mauser that barrel should thread right onto, anyone a have headspace gauges I could borrow.

 

[woodchopper]

105mm a bit larger then what I was looking for

I hear it's going to be the latest fad in one shot stopping defense cartridges...

This has already been done using some of the other barrels available from the source. By using the frist 6 feet or so, building a cap over the chamber end, and adding a fuse hole, a fairly decent "civil war" looking cannon was built. The real giveaways as to it not being authentic, were the rifling and the weight of the barrel in kilograms stamped on the side of the barrel.
Don't fall for the "only one" line in his ad. If anyone wants one of these at a more reasonable price, PM me for the source.
Crown Assets did sell a bunch of Leopards recently, where they removed the turrets and gun, so for a few guys, this may be a big piece of the puzzle.

they did, they took away the leo and replaced it with the striker, well they tried to until they ran out of money.

 

[Gibbs505]

Well I would love one! Make a dandy black powder cannon!

 

[airwapiti]

if you capped the end you might be able to send a grapefruit a long long way away. i know oranges in the 60 mortar are pretty funny.

Some Hoppe's #9 and a few patches should clean that up

That's what I was thinking. Rifling looks pretty good...

Yeah, and y'all beat me to the bear defence topic...
