how much were they
If you talk to Doug Purdey at the Lincolnshire shooting Center he has some.
I.ve seen one shot....great fun...and very accurate at 25 meters.
I'd check with your local firearms officer first as they seem to be difficult to get on a ticket.

How much would it cost per bang to run one of these ?
they were on sale at £275 each they had a pair.
i think when you consider the work involved and the detail i think it was a great buy
If they're smoothbore, they wouldn't need to to on FAC, would they? Wouldn't an SGC suffice?

the chap selling them said they were on FAC but talking to another dealer up there he had seen the same cannon for sale on SGC but it was 3 times the price!
Try Henry Krank they usually have some in FAC only as far as I'm aware
Anyone know the name of the manufacturer?

A F.A.C is needed if shooting with solid shot, regardless of the muzzle length

I've not measured one but I think they are shorter than 24". I'm going in this week for some other gear I'll ahve a look and let you know.

Remember a barrel is measured from muzzle to point of ignition
A shotgun is still a shotgun even if you load ball, no FAC required unless it's sawn off or loads more than 3 cartridges. There are restrictions on where you can shoot ball but that doesn't make it FAC.
I cut my ML teeth shooting ball from a musket on SGC until the club allowed me to apply for a FAC, by then I had a regular arsenal of antique rifles and was spoilt for choice
