Rangie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ah yes, that old gun could be dismantled for transport over the indian mountains! The barrel unscrewed or un-latched from the main body, can't remember. So, a transport plug, or even better, carrying handles for moving the barrel around??? Alec.

fv1609 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 To carry the gun barrel at the muzzle end ? Yes well done Bob it is a muzzle lifter. Alec was 95% there but you came in for the final strike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Merlin & Alec you just got pipped at the post. But Alec you did all the hard work. The scaling to get the 10-pdr mountain gun was very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Looks like, to use it, you hold the leather handle end and poke the other end, which looks wooden, into something. Is it used in rope splicing? Oops. Just read the rest of the post instead of only looking at page 1.
