It’s a shame how much smaller it is they have it at the Hagerstown aviation museum now and it’s nothing like it used to be when they had it in Aberdeen…

So I have a question I have posed to several folks I have an old Winchester case and projectile seems to be dated 12/94 , thinking December of 1894. I posted a little short of it so anyone who may know can hop over and look at it. I emailed Winchester but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I LIKE THE HAIR TRIGGER MECHANISM.❤LETS HOPE NO ONE USES TO PREVENT POLICE FROM USING THEIR VEHICLES😂 AND/OR LEAVING THEIR "SAFE" GARAGES I.E. WHERE THEY PARK THEIR CARS.
Not sure if you still have it. It is a Kreigsmarine Zeiss Kimmtiefenmesser Instrument for measuring the Dip of the Horizon. I have one with a manual. serial number #90. can't read german but that is what it is. Cheers Rob
How curious, this Parrott rifle is 4.2" bore, and perhaps not coincidentally, the modern US Army heavy mortar and ammo is also 4.2" diameter. Or at least it was so called in my day. The same heavy morter is now known as 120mm. Every mechanized infantry battalion has a 120mm mortar platoon in its HHC.
Technically thats not a cannon. It needs to be bigger than 50cal to be a cannon, just saying. Still way cool. In our cannon club a few guys don't even like the 20mms as being to small😊
This looks great, original is the best way to go. The only original i have is an M32 1937 45mm russian A.T. gun thats not reactivated yet. I've got a 40mm kinda styled after the whitworth but its a standard screw breech. a friend just agreed to sell me his modern 3" whitworth made on a 3"50cal navy barrel, it uses 75mm shells. Also in the works is a 20mm vulcan chambered singleshot on a field carriage😊
