I like that design, but wouldn't the weight of the barrel put too much stress on the barrel reciever, causing it to break. I don't think it would be that bad, but after a while the joints may start to get weaker.

It probally would depending on what your shooting and how powerful the cannon is. The receiver and bolt would probally need to be made of some sort of steel.

Think the Cam-Lock idea is a stronger connection and yet still quick to disassemble/assemble in my opinion.
