Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Sometimes people bring some weird sh#t in here they need some machining done to. This guy pulls up in a big red H2 hummer and asks if we can open the cannon ball hole up for him all the way to the fuse. Lol! I said sure. Why not. Hahaha!

Would have been better if he asked you to fab up a mount for mounting the cannons on the H2. :)

I hope the owner isn't planning to fire the cannons. They appear to be cast iron.

Jim I think they are just supposed to be decorative but people do bore the hole out and fire them. I think it's just blanks that make a loud boom like an M1000 makes which is equivalent to a 1/4 stick of dynamite. The hole is only about 8" deep so he want's it all the way back to the fuse.

what if they are legit demilitarized cannons? Could you get in hot water for making them work again? SOunds like a project better suited for the people at American Gun's.
