Are all Western Cannons smooth-bored?
« on: December 30, 2016, 19:35:18 »
I have two Western cannons with different barrels. They are similar in size and both fit the Western cannon carriages, but one has a smooth barrel and the other has two parallel internal flanges.



Can anyone help me work out which of the cannons in the 13 Western sets with cannons have smooth bores and which have the flanged barrel?

I also have a ramrod with two grooves (presumably for a cannon with internal flanges) which I cannot find in PlaymoDB- any suggestions?

The smooth cannons were the earliest I'm sure.

I, too, had a flanged ramrod.
