Source for 2-inch capsquares
« on: May 16, 2011, 05:15:29 AM »
I'll be needing a set of 2-inch capsquares for a Kings Howitzer I'm building this year.  Does any one know of a source for a ready made set? 

Thanks!

Check out Hern Iron Works,  They are in Idaho and make cast cap squares.

I'll be needing a set of 2-inch capsquares ...

You should give more complete dimensions.  2" diameter trunnions?  2" wide?  What are the other dimensions?  What kind of end treatment?  Slot width and length?
