There is some engineering to consider in regards to chamber pressure and what you have for the barrel. I've seen what it takes the U.S.gov't to build artillery/cannon barrels, there's quite a bit that goes into it. That does not make me knowledge-able about it just the same, but I spent some time observing at a nearby arsenal when I was inside delivering the lumber used to crate these massive barrels. 5 years worth of regular trips inside, long before all the security craze and terrorism problems. Its amazing what it takes from raw material to build these. They spare no expense when crating and packing these, top grade lumber was always used.
I'd want to run some calc's on the material you propose to use, and if its scrap/boneyard material, it won't be new, include that in your considerations of the build. You can't have flawed material for this.
On the fun side of it, and I'd enjoy one of these to no end, once you know the specifications of what you build, know the safe loads, its been proof tested, stands to reason you may not have to worry so much about catastrophic failure.
What I am wondering is what are the rules on things like this, given the way things are today, you can't have fun like you used to.

There is now a growing market for "As found" machines. Which as machines get rarer, has found the birth of a new industry....one of the "procurement agent". These agents appropriate as much old machinery as possible then inflate prices at auctions. So at what price enthiusiasm? We are now seeing poor machines which 3 years ago ma
