I am considering the building of a 40mm cannon, and need a breech design that is relatively simple to construct.
Failing a suitable breech design, I will make it a muzzle loader.
Bear in mind that I do not want to do a full "modern cartridge" type of design, due to the regs.
Just a simple bag and ball fed breech loader will do nicely.
I understand that the Whitworth breech design is good, but I am unfamiliar with it.
Anyone have a design, or know where one can be had?
