So I have a couple of customers that shoot black powder cannons and they have my interest peaked.

I found a place selling 20mm vulcan barrels. The front half (40in) is the part I'm really interested in building it with.

Where can I get more info on this type of project? I can find lots of stuff on front stuffers.. I want a mini breech loader.

how about going up to 3", I know where you can get a chunk off a 3"- 50

There is a guy that sells barrels of various calibers that can be used for black powder cannons.... he even makes a nifty 20mm that is ready to go if he has any in stock.... Big Sky Surplus http://www.bigskysurplus.com/

Bigsky was where I was thinking of buying the 20mm barrel from. He has a "cannon kit".

[BigMac]

Thats a nice batch of photos..

Is that from a nor cal shoot? I've seen some of these cannons before.

NICE,....Do you happen to know anything about them ? Like are there any blueprints, or what are they using for a gas check ?

 

[BigMac]

I don't know anything accept some of them actually fire smokeless pawder.

Who sells complete breech loading units for purchase like the one at the top of BigMac 2nd picture post. A cannon that I can shoot off the M3 pod would be cool.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it

Great pictures! There are some very skilled and creative designers out there.
Do you have any pictures of the projectiles,rotating bands, and breech gas seals?

 

[BigMac]

I am supposed to get invited to the Coalinga shoot this fall. I will get some pics at that shoot and share with the board.

I had a Super neet 20mm canon brought in here because of this thread. Full length barrel.. The cannon part was about worked out. He just needs a recoils sytem as I understand it.

Gees it made the bug worse.

I do know the guy who made that breech in picture number two
I don't think he'll make anymore; thats was a ww2 20mm barrel out of a B-17 SUB HUNTER i think
been a couple of years sense I've seen him

Here is a thread from greybeards that may solve the gas seal problem.
