25pdr Limber Questions


Recommended Posts

Hi

How heavy is a 25pdr Limber ?

and what is it's overall length?

The reason why I am asking is that I may have to move one a short distance with my 88" Landrover

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Richard

The limber, fully loaded, weighs in at about 3,000lbs. Carries 32 rounds, so there's 800lbs off, I can't find any info on the weight of a cartridge, so take a guess! Let's say the empty limber weighs around 2,000lb. 

The gun's 4.7m from tow ring to muzzle, limber looks about 2/3rds that length.

Those figures are spot on for a no. 27 limber.

Dimensions from the IWM are 1141mm high, 3240mm long and 2056mm wide.
