Total length: 60 inches
Barrel length: 46 inches
Carriage width: 30 inches
Outside wheels: 37 inches
Weight approximately: 275 lbs.
Wheel dia. 24 inches
Height: 24 inches
Barrel diameter: 2  inch with a taper
The scope is a Tasco World Class 6-24 power.
Note: the reason for the 24 power scope is that this Cannon can shoot up to 2 miles and you not only want to identify your target but also verified that there are no people anywhere around the impact area. The scope is offset about 4 inches from the center of the barrel. The reason for that is that at long distance the barrel may be elevated high enough where it would be in the way of the view of the scope. This is also the reason that the scope elevation moves independent of the barrel. The elevation of the barrel or shooting at any particular distance is determined by the drop table provided and using a protractor at the pivot point of the barrel to set for the proper degree. The scope just gives you the left or right aiming point and is aimed directly at the target.

LEGAL ISSUES on Antique and Black powder cannons.

 Firearms in this country (USA), particularly those deemed to be “destructive devices”, are tightly regulated by BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). The question then becomes: is a cannon a destructive device? According to Federal Regulations, a cannon that is “not capable of firing fixed ammunition and manufactured on or before 1898, and replicas thereof, are antiques and not subject to the provisions of either the Gun Control Act of 1968 or the National Firearms Act of 1934”. Fixed ammunition refers to a projectile and powder charge than can be loaded as a single unit. By this definition, even a percussion primed breech loader is exempt if the powder and shot are loaded separately.
