mountain howitzer
« on: March 02, 2011, 03:02:12 PM »
Hi all ;D
Here in the north west we have WCWA for reenacting civil war and one of the rules is that a cannon must be with in 1/2" of original spec. I have a MH. that was cast in the fiftys with a 5/8" wall sleeve with a 3.125 bore. My question is was there a MH with a 6 pound bore, some where about 3.62"  :o  ?

sorry but no,  best thing to do is sell the barrel and buy a nice new steel  barrel,  put it online because there are lot of reenacting groups that dont care about bore size.  good luck,

What are the diameters of the existing barrel?  What scale is it?
