AOP (Antique Ordnance Publishers) Artillery Plans/Drawings
« on: March 29, 2006, 06:55:24 PM »
I just received three more sets of artillery drawings from Antique Ordnance Publishers today (No's 42, 43 and 44).  Their catalog sheet is available here.  Don't spend the rent money there.  (-:

AOP has added several more plans to their list including a 30 Pdr Parrott Rifle, a 100 Pdr Parrott Rifle and a mortar wagon for the 8" and 10" siege mortars.  Check it out here.  They are also now offering Tables of Fire for a bunch of different guns.

George,

How did I miss your previous post on this.  I'll get their website added to the resource list.

Wondered about that, but since the forum is your act, I didn't make a big deal about it.  (-:

Antique Ordnance Publishers has issued a new catalog sheet and it is now available here.  As always, I have no commercial connection with them beyond buying some of their plan books.

Once again, AOP has issued a new catalog sheet.  Some new stuff; some new, higher prices.  Has been reorganized from numerical order to grouped by general theme, such as US Field Artillery - Civil War & Later, US Siege Artillery - Civil War, etc.  Still the best source of plans for the period they cover.  Same caveats as before.

I have a couple dozen of their plans, then I convert them down to scale.  Very good plans, the large format makes for easy reading and machining.

I have been wanting to order more, so here goes---
