The barrels we manufacture are steel or
bronze and most often modeled after
smooth bore field cannons used during the
civil war. We manufacture both field and
marine carriages. The field carriages have
oak wheels and oak or other wood in the
body. An example of a field carriage is
shown in our logo. Our marine carriages
are oak with steel axles and have oak
wheels.

Our cannons are manufactured in
Altamont, Kansas. Our barrels are lathe
turned and bored. Trunnion pockets are
milled into the barrel and the lathe turned
trunnions are fitted into these pockets. The
trunnions are then J.B. Welded in place.
Bronze barrels are dry and wet polished on
the lathes and final polishing is
accomplished on a large buffing machine.
Steel barrels are lathe polished and blued
with a commercial gun bluing.
