Sawyer mounting
« on: September 30, 2010, 04:10:37 PM »
Does anyone have pictures or drawings of mountings for sawyer rifles?  I suspect #1 field carriage was most common but would like to see other possibilities if they exist.  Thanks, LS

Field artillery weapons of the Civil War By James C. Hazlett, Edwin Olmstead, M. Hume Parks: Sawyer Rifle
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

There is a Sawyer rifle mounted on a carriage located at Lakewood Cemetery in Mineapolis, Minnesota, but I couldn't find a good photo of it. http://www.lakewoodcemetery.com/History_founders.html

Did you contact AOP and see if they have pans for a Sawyer?
