Cannon Manufacturer Advice

[pkorzynski]

It's probably just a pipe dream, but I hope to form a Battery of Light Artillery in the future, and I've researched cannon manufacturers, but would like advice on who I should run to, and maybe more importantly, who to run from. I've contacted Marshall of Steen Cannon and Steve of Trail Rock Ordnance, but have not contacted CannonSmoke yet. Any help with any or all of these, or anyone else out there that I'm not aware of would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

I just bought a limber from Trail Rock in January. I am pretty happy with it.

Hello,
I make artillery cannon but with only titanium for this moment.

I don't like necroposting, so I apologize for the resurection of this one, but the info is a few years old.

I am planning on forming a light artillery unit later this year, currently doing research on Massachusetts units, their equipment etc, starting to narrow down the field, trying to decide if I want to develop a specific impression, but I would also like to own more than one gun, for collecting, live firing and and reenacting purposes, and would like a napoleon, 3" Ordnance, and 10lb Parrott, maybe if it works later an 1841 6 pounder for early war events.

Either way, I will search for an existing gun for sale, but if I go on to commission a piece, one that is as accurate as possible, and good for both live competition and firing, I would most likely have to compromise on the napoleon and get an iron gun, w/ sleeve and have it fire bronzed, etc. A true bronze gun, new currently is about 30k for the tube alone, which where I have a good budged, that would certainly be out of it.

Steen still the premier gun maker? Any others to consider?

I think they’re still pretty good, but I’m not keeping track of who’s the best antique artillery manufacturer.
