Edge Report post Posted August 5, 2023 I'm at the local Goodwill searching for props for my new acting gig... And all of a sudden I see a 1/4 scale M1857 12 pounder cannon and caisson being put.out for sale, $7.59 later, I have an artillery piece. I do my research, it's a 50 year old, functional, black powder cannon made in Spain. Although it's called a .70 cal, she fires a .680" ball with a max 85gr charge. Can't wait to touch her.off The balls or mold are kind.of spendy online Ever heard of grape shot?. .177 BBs will work. Come to find out these are available in a 1 1/4" bore, too. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
