I was told by someone in NY that he had the police at his home many times when neighbors complained about him firing his cannon on a Sunday afternoon. He said is was illegal to BLANK fire a cannon, which is why he loaded the barrel up with sawdust, and kept a log of when and how he fired it. Eventually the police gave up trying to charge him, and told anyone to complained from then on that he was doing it legally. Of course, there may be more or fewer restrictions based on local regs, amount of property, etc. but his assertion was that blank firing is illegal as it is in the same class as aerial fireworks which are illegal.

Cops do not always know the law.

Is it rough to find parts for them? They don’t look mainstream like a Harley or an Indian motorcycle. Cool little hobby you have there. Quick search of the web shows lots of examples in a fairly cheap price point. I’m not sure I’d have a use for one but dang they are cool

Will an aftermarket trigger like that take the slop out of the Factory Colt's piece?

it replaces the factory trigger shoe and trigger bow. It does take some fitting so depending on how you fit then yes you can eliminate it. I may end up changing it again as I’m not sure if I like the medium length as much as I thought I would. I may end up switching it out for a long length

Is cool.
That’s a factory built ‘49 Whizzer Pacemaker “motorbike” 3hp. 40mph.
They also did a factory produced late ‘40s Schwinn Phantoms. Most that you see are kit bikes, the whizzer kit was sold to install on most balloon tire bikes.

Rounding up some small parts to get this one up and running. Just a ‘50 Columbia chassis with a 300 series whiz factory hot rod… high compression, big valves, higher cooling fins, bigger carb and spark plug relocated.
