Looks good! Have you test fired the cannon yet? I'm wondering about any leakage around the bolt sleeve.

i haven't been able too :( cos my current pump broke but before i brought it to a friends and borrowed his pump and it does leak where the copper and the slightly bigger steel tube fit in each other but i fixed it with a piece of brass in between the the too but i plan on using it soon :D
(i also made a silencer but i haven't be able to test that either :()
