Cannon Background
Does anyone know if I purchase a full size cannon do I need a background check run?
The cannon I’m interested in:

Re: Cannon Background
That looks really similar to the cannon they used to pop off a few times a day during the Gunmakers' Fair at Dixon Muzzleloading (Kempton). I had a table there for probably 12-13 years and I NEVER got used to that thing going off, and they'd give you a countdown over the loudspeakers too. Holy crap was that thing loud - and you felt it in your bones!

Re: Cannon Background
Shouldn't the full scale one only be twice the price of the 1/2 scale one?
Plus, no one needs a cannon to hunt deer.Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: Cannon Background
Interesting question. I texted a friend who is on a Napoleon Civil War Re-enactor gun crew. He questions the price, says a real Napoleon would be around $60,000 and reproductions are normally more than $5000. A real Napoleon was built before 1898 and does not require a background check. I did not tell him this was a repo and newly built. No more info and not much help, sorry.

Charlie Smithgall in Lancaster is the PA resident cannon expert. He has a nice collection...
Smithgalls Drug Store (also sells guns)

Re: Cannon Background
As long as the gun doesn't use fixed cartridges, it isn't a "firearm". Technically a 16" gun from the battleship New Jersey isn't a firearm and isn't subject to NFA or GCA laws, nor to PA laws. (explosive shells would be)
I have an uncle in the process of making a 2" to 3" bore cannon from a train axle. So far he has the exterior turned, and has stock ready for trunnions, and design for a carriage.Last edited by knight0334; April 7th, 2021 at 11:55 AM.
