...watched 'em all, yer previous vids...the last they say, is held th' best...tho I want to view ev'r th' more...excellent work, Bart...so good - so far!
On the side near the back of barrel you will see 2 pins. The front pin is pulled & the front of the barrel is lifted with the rear pin in place. The front pin goes back into the chassis & the bottom of barrel rests on top of front pin which holds barrel up. Pins might be clearer on Barts Cannon 2 video. After loading, the front pin is pulled from chassis & barrel is lowered & the pin is put back into place. Barts Cannon 5 shows the periscope type scope used for aiming accuracy.
The barrel is machined at 1 inch. We shoot 15/16 steel balls wrapped in a greased wad.
Or we get 1 inch outside diameter galvenized conduit cut into approx. 1 1/2 inch lenghts & fill with melted lead. These are a perfect fit in the barrel.
Thanx for the comment and I am sorry I have not been here in a while. But if you look at other comments on this video you will find the answer to your question.

what do you do to get the powder charge down the bore when the barrel is horizontal?
