Bentiron1946 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Shuck!, I can't even watch the trailer. Sounds like fun. I cast a very small mortar back in 1976 to celebrate the American Revolutions two hundredth anniversary, shoots and 1-1/2" ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
