my cannon collection

Hi Vince,

Nice cannon.

I am especially drawn to the European cannon in the first picture. I guess I am a little surprised the muzzle is not thicker given the diameter of the bore...

Thank you for sharing those, and if I read your post correctly, you are somewhere in an area affected by this (latest) tragedy. I hope you are yours area faring well, and along with our forumites affected by last month's quake, remain safe.

Hello, laEspadaAncha!

Thank you so much for your comments

.

Here are some more pictures on the muzzle as compared to the bore.
The picture in my first post on this part of the european cannon was
a bit distorted at the center (where the bore hole looked cavernous compared to the cannon wall which looked thin since it was taken
closeup). My purpose was to show its interior.....

As you can see from the new pics the muzzle is bell-shaped, the wall increasing in mass exterior-wise as you move away a bit from the front
of the cannon. Hope the muzzle-bore ratio looks good now

.

take care.
