These are amazing machines! I have never seen any of these designs before. These are impressive technology for the mid 1700s. I especially like the revolving cannon in the first picture! I would love to look these over closely.
I have been working on a bolt action, electrically fired, caseless rifle, for modern powder.

that IS freakin amazing! I had no idea that any guns were that technically advanced back then, wouldn't it be great to study that first one in person?
thanks @smithlabs.

With enough ammo, ROFLOL! Too much fun at the range. I am building a flint lock rifle, but it is Not this fancy! :)

oh well that might not be challenging enough for you though, I think you need to get hold of the plans for that more advanced one!

Weeellllll, I AM building it from scratch. Does that count? :)
I just bought a gun drill to make the barrel (not long enough, so I will need to modify it), then I need to rifle the new barrel. I will make it 50 Cal, to match my other hunting rifles.

oh that's different! lol from Scratch. I don't know anyone who does that or would know how or would have the machinery. 50 cal should handle it!

More fun that way, LOL! When you finish, you KNOW the mechanism. The 50 will match two other hunting rifles so I can use the same ammunition. For plinking, I can use the 45 slugs I cast myself., covered by a 410 plastic wadding. Almost free to shoot! :)
I have a 20 ga black powder shotgun that is a panic to shoot! Come on down, and we will make some smoke! :)

I've never heard of a black powder shotgun!
I've never shot anything black powder.
you cast your own slugs(of course) but is lead hard to get?
I thought we were running short of lead in the U.S. but I don't
keep up on much stuff like that anymore.

You have got to come play, LOL! We will do a black powder day! :) I have about 100 pounds of lead shot, in 25 pound sacks. I go to the metal recyclers, and buy wheel weights for bullet castings. The antimony in them makes a hard casting. Not to expensive either, there is about 200 pounds of wheel weights under the reloading bench. :)
