    What finish for Civil War cannon?

    Ran into the chance to buy a reasonably priced .50 BP cannon the other day. A Traditions that's supposed to be representative of a Napoleon and it had been assembled as a showroom model, but no finish was applied to wood or metal.

    Buyer's trip down Nostalgia Lane

    'Way back when I was 19, my Dad bought a Ruger Mk I with 6&7/8" barrel. I selected it, the payment for it was out of my wages, but since I wasn't 21, it was legally Dad's gun. Before that I got to mess around with an old Single Six (one of the early ones with the drift-adjustable rear sight...
