Rangie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Right, the other end then! A barrel plug for an artillery gun to prevent water and debris falling down into it? Going by rough measurements against the computer screen, if its 22" long, that makes it approx 2.8" Dia at the leather covered end, this is close to the old 10lb mountain gun size of 2 3/4" Alec.

Very nearly there Alec so you are near the alter! Going by rough measurements against the computer screen, if its 22" long, that makes it approx 2.8" Dia at the leather covered end, this is close to the old 10lb mountain gun size of 2 3/4" Alec. Very well worked out A barrel plug for an artillery gun to prevent water and debris falling down into it?. Yes it does fit the barrel/muzzle of an artillery gun but not for that purpose. Consider the role that this particular gun plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 To carry the gun barrel at the muzzle end ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret1958uk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Is it a handle that gets inserted into the barrel to allow easier manoevering of the artillery piece in confined spaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
