Hate to let it go but this monster is taking up too much garage space, and who really needs more than one cannon?


Price is very firm. If you're not familiar with the cost of artillery, please do your homework before emailing me. New units sell for $12,000+, which does not include rams, sponges, worms, buckets, and all the goodies my gun has.


Currently disassembled, you will need a legitimate engine winch to assemble; I'm happy to help provide a bit of labor, but you'll want to bring four strong friends. This is somewhat comically named "light" artillery and clocks in just shy of 3,000 pounds. All oak and iron, all American made, by hand. PM me anytime.

I also have a brand-new set of 58" dished wagon wheels at a heck of a bargain: $750 for the set, already palleted and ready to ship out.

Good luck with your sale...!

I think I may have just found my ultimate grail gun.

@thomas-emard I'd like to meet you one of these days. You have an interesting and eclectic collection and it would be fun to learn some new stuff and check things out.

 

[cigars]

Is a holster available for concealed carry?
That is really cool!! GLWS.

I would buy you a beer to see you try!

 

[thomas-emard]

A holster is available but will need some "minor machining" to fit over the barrel, the cascable alone is the size of a trailer hitch.

$8,500 folks. Come drive away with a literal piece of American artillery. I need this gone, we're tearing down our garage to replace it and this needs a home pronto. If no one takes it, I'm putting it in self-storage and you'll lose your chance at it forever!

No FFL needed. Assemble it, roll it onto a trailer, and its yours.


@GOG, eclectic is definitely a word to describe my collection! I doubt many more Oregonians have as many smoke-belchers!

 

[GOG]

I was able to visit West Point and many historical sites up and down the Eastern Seaboard. IIRC, the cannon displayed at the Point were captured pieces and had plaques giving the battle & factual data.
I spent many days in Gettysburg as it was my favorite site as well as accessible.

So a cannon is on my wife's bucket list of things to shoot.

She couldn't justify allowing me to spend the money though.

 

[antonio97b]

Does it come with scope rings?

 

[Jcon268]

That's amazing and quite beautiful, I hope some with the cash to make the purchase came through on this.

I want this just so I can post theads about "which caliber grape shot is most effective for home defense?"

 

[thomas-emard]

After a long day, several liters of ice water, and a whole lot of trying to fit modern tools to decidedly-not-modern nuts, the carriage is now assembled. The cannon will be fully assembled and ready to literally roll onto a trailer in two day's time; the price is re-established at $9,000USD, firm. You all had your chance to build it yourself!

Thats freaking awesome.

You're a teacher, this is clearly for educational purposes. A donor's choose and a go fund me account are in order

 

[Andy54Hawken]

That would work nicely.
I would get the cannon...
The seller would be $9,000 richer..
It would be used for educational purposes...
I could use it during both the school year and summer...
Many folks here would love to see it and shoot it as well...
Sounds like a win all the way around...

I can't think of a more appropriate person that this should go to, and I would actually donate to the fund to help you get this!

You could also deduct the operational expenses from your AGI on your taxes as non-reimbursed "work related" expenses...


I would LOVE to see the faces on people while hauling this thing behind a rig zooming down the interstate, and downtown "snowflake land"....

 

[11Charlie]

I would chip in to see Andy get this!

 

[BlindedByScience]

Completely bad a_s_s. Hope you had fun with it, GLWS...!!

I have to check with the guys at Lone Oak Gun Club. Single shot muzzle loading rifle should be permitted on the range.
