Muzzle loading artillery, but WW2 pattern?
« on: January 12, 2010, 05:33:17 PM »
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I don’t see anything here that isolates black powder artillery to any specific era…
I just saw the below link somewhere else and realized they’re making WW2 pattern field guns, but as muzzle loaders.

For me, this would be the ultimate crossover item, as I own a WW2 Jeep I could tow one of these behind. I’ve been toying around with getting a working WW2 gun, either a 37 or pack 75 anyway (in WA state, a destructive device is about the only NFA-classed item you can own) but the cost is of course staggering.
The price for these replicas isn’t all that bad, but from the descriptions I’m reading I get the impression that they’re overgrown salute guns and not made for live fire? Has anyone ever seen any of these guns in action before?
