If on the other hand, the thread is not for an extension but for applying a cleaning or extracting device, you still have to odd details to consider; its considerable 2 Kgs. weight and the sturdy diameter of its grip, suggesting it not to be for raming with your fingers but for turning it with one or two hands.
But again, i may be talking nonsense .
Thanks for your reply Fernando , but why do you say 'out of the question' for a cannon ?
