ENDED Mountain Howitzer

[Dzgreenacres]

Unfortunately I can no longer participate in reenactments due to illness. It is unfortunate because I really enjoyed the 124th NYSV. Anyway I built a Mountain howitzer a few years back. I used Steen hardware with the exception of the bolts. Those I made on a lathe. I used white oak for the carriage. The wheels are correct 42 inch with proper taper and offset. Those I had made in Texas somewhere. At the time I didn't know of anywhere other then Dixie to get a barrel so I used one form them. It is not the larger bore, but is very safe. I made an exact copy of an ammo box too that I store everything in. I listed it here because I really have no idea where else to list something like that where someone may be interested. I can email pictures to anyone interested. email me at [email protected].
Regards

Hello Dzgreenacres. Welcome to CivilWarTalk.

I know you posted an email address, but it would be great if you could upload some photos of your mountain howitzer.

@Dzgreenacres Welcome From THE Heart Of Dixie. All of the above would be VERY helpful. Also, do you have any video of it firing. Its best if you want to post it here for sale to post some photo price etc so we can PM you with info emails etc instead of the other way around. Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Ok new to this so not sure how to do it. Will give it a shot. Oh and I was thinking about 4,500.00. I have seen others put there for more that I don't consider as good as mine.

How big is the bore?
Is the bore straight walled all the way ir is there a necked down/reduced powder chamber?

 

[Dzgreenacres]

It's a 2 1/4 inch straight bore. Cast iron sleeved. At the time i didn't know where else to get a full size barrel and I couldn't afford a cast bronze:-(

So what is a fair asking price? Anyone have ideas? Thanks
