I did email them if they plan on doing a steel true 6 or 12 pounder. They replied a cast iron 12 pounder will be available later. I know
what I am getting later. VA are good people to do business with.

Wanted to add they plan on doing small cannons too, I may want a swivel cannon if not too heavy and they have the mounts for them.

If this cost $29.90 instead of $299 i'd be all over it. How friggen hard is this to make in the day of cnc and laser cut and welded everything.

Thank you.  I now have a $10 forged iron pot fork heading my way - only $12 for shipping but what the hell - I paid $20 FTF for the last one I bought at a rendezvous.

In for the 12#er iron Coehorn.

It's bronze - that's the nature of the beast. 5" long. 1.75" bore.

Just a chunk of bronze 3" diameter by 5" long costs $200 or more if you were going to machine it from solid stock.. Honestly it's impressive that the price is so low.

Copper and tin both got very spendy. Even for a casting house they're expensive metals to work with now - even more if it's 630 or 954 alloy or similar.

Do you drill your own touch hole, or am I missing it??
