you gotta post a youtube of that thing in action mate.

well my random buy, has had me spending all day trying to clean it up and get it ready for the parts i bought from usa. im trying to get it so its ready to fire when the parts turn up. so after about two hours i managed to unscrew the breach, as it had been used allot and after over 60 years the barrel was full of calcium build up about 20mm thick in areas, it seized the breach thread but got that undone. and so i could clean out the calcium with a screw driver, well well this is scary, in the built up calcium i find a .22 cal bullet entombed in it, lol some idiot kid must have thought it would be a good idea to put a bullet in the barrel when firing it, lol lucky for the kid it never went off. and it must have been fired 100s of times with that bullet in the chamber of the cannon. im cleaning now with caution,
