Winchester recently announced that Dunlap Cannon Co. is producing the classic Winchester Model 98 signal cannon as a licensed product in 2024. This production run is limited to 250 units.

More about the Model 98: Making its debut in 1903 by Winchester Repeating Arms Company and included in the the March 1903 Winchester Catalog, the Winchester signal cannon is a breech-loading cannon that fires 10-gauge shotshell blanks. With its blued steel barrel and cast-iron carriage, these cannons became fixtures at celebrations and maritime events across the nation.

The Winchester Model 98 signal cannon will be exclusively produced and sold by Dunlap Cannon Co. and is made entirely in the United States. A Winchester press release said that “each cannon is meticulously crafted with American sourced raw materials and assembled with the unwavering precision and quality that defines the legacy of Winchester.”

“With more than 120 years of tradition, these signal canons have become icons of American craftsmanship and the legendary Winchester brand,” Winchester Ammunition Director of Marketing Jason Gilbertson said. “We are excited about Dunlap Cannon Co.’s introduction of what we expect to be a very successful licensed product.”

MSRP is $3,499. Winchester Model 98 signal cannons are available at winchestersignalcannon.com.
