Well hi have not been on here in quite some time. A few years i built a small mortar but now im on to bigger and a different type of cannon this time. Im building a mountain howitzer. Now the question is for the carriage how do i size everything i was told the trail was about 1/3 longer than the wheels and the wheel base is the same as the wheel diameter this correct ? Thanks Matt D

There was a pack carriage, and a couple types of prairie carriage that the Mt. Howitzer could be mounted on; which carriage do you want to mount your barrel on?

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

The pack carriage had 38-inch diameter wheels, and the prairie carriages had 42-inch diameter wheels, with a wider wheel base than the pack carriage.
