I got a freind who inherited a repro full scale mountain Howitzer. It’s got everything but the wheels. I will need to fab up some new ones. He’s not going to do anything with it so I’m going to inquire about working a deal to put it in my possession. I still have to inspect it a little closer but from the pictures he sent me it looks to be some sort of cast metal( not bronze) I will check if it has a steel liner. Appears to have about a 3 inch bore but the bore is rusty. He said the fella he got it from used it for re-enactment so I’m guessing it was just used for a report cannon. I would love to have one that can shoot a projectile because I do have the space to shoot it but if it’s only made to make noise I’m ok with that too.
I need to get over there and get the specs so I can research it’s maker.
I had a 1/3 scale nepoleon at one time that could fire projectiles so I’m familiar with the firing operation but this would be a step up from anything I have put fire to.
I’m all excited about it so I thought I would share with you all. Any fellow artillery guys here like to make big noise?
