May not be helpful to many.But here is a photo and video of my Hughes Cannon I built about 5 years back now.If you look at my other videos I have a few more on youtube...It is a 1.5 inch Bore..Breech Loader. Made after the only original known to survive from the confederacy..It is full scale as to the original..Made as close to the original as I could..It is Rifled as the original was too..
I can show and tell alot more about if there is further interest..
Sorry about the annoying wind noise..That was mother natures input..
