Coehorn Mortar
« on: January 19, 2007, 02:11:15 PM »
Hi all, I want to buy a 1/2 scale coehorn mortar that shoots soda cans like the one on cannon mania's site.  Nice looking and from what I have heard good quality, I have a dispute with them now and if Idon't get it in the next couple of weeks  I want to buy from some budy else than can deliver on a timely mannor!  So who would you recomend?

Radio2 -

WELCOME to the board!

We have some very fine manufacturers of cannons and mortars here as sponsors.  Each has their own niche.  But what is common between them is quality.  Contact them to see if they can produce the design and caliber you want.

Welcome to the board.  I am Rick's brother-in-law and help him whenever I can at gunshows.  I have helped him test fire his cannons and mortars and the workmanship on his cannons and mortars is excellent.  You are getting a very good quality can shooter.

Please post some pics as soon as you can.

Rick's cannons are Museum Quality!!! You will not be disappointed. I live just down the road from him and I enjoy going to his shop for a visit. Last time I was there we fired up his Monster furnace and made some aluminum ingots. Please post action pictures when you get it.

Later, Wes

Radio2,
Today I said my good-buys and weened the 24 pd. Coehorn Mortar.  She is on her way to a new and good home.  You should recieve it by monday. 

After one puts the work into building a Cannon or Mortar, well it's like raising kids, you get attched to them.  Let her speak, and then send some pictures.

A warning no one ever gives me, I used lots of stryofoam packaging, with lots of stact electricity. hope it don't make a mess.

Thank you,  Rick Neff

Radio2 pictures please? Smoke and fire!

Rick, yes it was tough when the kids left home...now when they  come to visit, after about 3 or 4 days, you ask "now when  is it  you are going to leave?"
