Believe me, I'm dieing to. I'm just trying to find the sdr21 locally, (I dont really like ordering off the internet) but its not easy to find by the foot.

Its looking like I may have to order from BCarms. I was really hoping to be able to make my own though... :?

Curious to where people are finding these banjo fitting for their barrels...

I've just in the last week built myself my first two spud cannons and had a design I am working out much like this cannon I want to build. You could say that your rebel has inspired me along with Starmans like cannon.

Right on man. That looks very very nice.

I just made my first combustion, and now this makes me want to make an advanced combustion!

Look forward to seeing more cannons!

Try your local Tractor Supply Co. You may have to try several stores in your area..50 mile radius or so..not all have a good stock of it. BC can provide it but shipping it from California isn't an ideal situation (I think you are in La.)...and limited to 5' max length.

I just checked the tractor supply website for Port Allen and looks like there are 10 stores in the general area. One of them should have some on the shelf... :wink:

Far and away, one of, if not the coolest combustion cannon on SpudFiles!

I know what I'm modeling my next cannon after!
