Mikie, The visuals I'm getting crack me up. I'm seeing this short, round, bearded guy booking out of someone's cow pasture, slipping and sliding in the cow pies, being chased by a farmer in bib overalls...through the creek, up the hill, disappearing into the woods.

wimpy pistols
I don't know about my Arizona brothers and their wimpy little pistols. I am working on a shoulder harness kinda thing for this bad boy. It is a single shot but with a 2 1/2" bore filled with ??? anything except cats. It should work well.

I hear Mike's not all that "round" these days......aught to be able to outrun Mr Greenjeans easy!

A few years back we were having a play with a 2 gauge smooth bore flint lock out at the range. This thing fires a 31mm lead ball or you can load it with shot.
It was a bit unreliable initially as the flint wasn't sparking properly. It was a good laugh though. You certainly knew when it went off.

Aussie Mike,
It looked like that kicked like a mule when it did go off. The cannon in the back of the car seemed about the size of my cannon. Is that a working model and what is the bore on it? Looks like a real hoot to touch that one off. I have not fired mine but have just located the percussion caps so maybe soon.
Karlos, Maybe straps would be the answer !! Jeff C

Mike,
I have not seen them and only info was from emails back and forth...it uses a standard Lyle Cap ?? Do you know what a Lyle cap is? It is a 22 caliber percussion cap.
