it was probably a hell of a time getting the license thanks to the ATF but just out of curiosity what license did you need to get to own one of these badboys

[rob762x51]

@evoldevildogs, License is not the term. The National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968 restrict sales, transfers and ownership through taxation and bans. Anything larger than 50 caliber is a "Destructive Device" and requires a $200 tax payment. So far, we can still make or buy destructive devices- just submit to the ATF background checks, pay the tax, submit your photo and fingerprints. Be the first to have a towed 155 on your block. Please bring it to the Big Sandy shoot.

Do you just fire at an empty hillside?

[rob762x51]

@equitably, no, there are 3 inch plate steel gongs out there. They ring out when you hit them. The smaller artillery like the 37mm Bofors try to penetrate the plate.

Where do you get the brass? Do you machine it yourself? I'd really be interested in making this sort of stuff eventually.

[rob762x51]

@TrollSturm, I can't find the groups at this time. I don't collect artillery. While at the Phoenix SAR show each year, there are a few vendors who have a large collection of large brass. If you're luck and it's a match, great, but if not, these are then modified (turned down) to fit your anti-tank gun or whatever. Projectiles are the same thing, usually used, recovered training slugs, or you make your own on a lathe. Most reload the same 5 cases over and over as a display.

This is great for home defense

Wow, its like a war zone over there. Must be really fun!

I shot a barrel full of snow out of the 75mm pack howitzer at NGCSU with a parade round as a cadet...sadly The tennis ball idea didn't work as well.

@loooodoooog boy that took you 8 months to answer lol. Barack Obama I hate, any president that disrespects the founding fathers, and disrespects the the law of the land ( Constitution) should be impeached.

[loooodoooog]

@GrizzPaul British yes.

[muddydisco4]

sounds to me like this was filmed in hackney!!

[valttu94]

Is he in Libya? Because of those shooting sounds.

[evoldevildogs]

@rob762x51 and by the way where did you perches your gun? and correct me if im wrong but doesn't the government take out the breach and weld a bar in the barrel when the piece is imported to America? so it cant be fired  also is the video based in Arizona or new Mexico?

[evoldevildogs]

@rob762x51 dude your a pretty cool guy and thanks for giving me the information to buy one of these beauties. Ive been interested in artillery and big guns for a while now and am even enlisting in the marines to become a cannon crew member or cannoneer as sometimes referred to and are looking forward to working on the M-777 a gorgeous work of art

Great to see it fire!,the three inch shell that had been turned down didnt seem very concentric the point of the shell was off to one side in relation to the main body of the shell.
