My first cannon
« on: January 29, 2007, 12:56:33 PM »
Just learning how to post pictures so I thought I would share a pic of my first cannon, I bought it in the early 70's when I was 16. It's 50 cal. and the barrel is 11" long with 12" wheels.  I sure had alot of fun with it and glad I hung on to it thru the years!

GOOD JOB Radio2!

I knew you'd get the right combination without my interferrence.

What a neat toy!  AND you still have it!

Glad to see the Goex can - you're off and running on the right foot!

Nice cannon !!!!  However, if you are trying to take the cap off that GOEX can, you need to move it a little more to the right and depress the barrel a bit.

If I was 16 again and you said that I would have probably tried that.  What a grand finale that would have been!
