to the best of my knowledge this has been fired every 4th since the first one (or very near). I'll not break tradition this year.

Any idea how hard it is to find an original?
Beyond priceless.
Irish by way of Cape Breton Island.
British? Won't hold that against you.
Happy Fourth.

If you really want one, not that hard to find (in the right circles).
A shop in town had 2 for sale, both needed work, one was converted to Caplock way back when. (but I wouldn't want to shoot either)
Get into "Reenactments" and you can locate one fairly easily. Just got to be willing to pay the price.
I've had some nice offers for mine,,, but, not for sale...... ever
