An overall shot of all of the pieces in Knox's Artillery at the moment, L-R: Light three pounder, 5.5" Howitzer, and the two 4.6" Coehorn Mortars.

The howitzer is my most recent pick up, but it needs some improvements to be made more historically accurate, including the most obvious thing is the wheels which need to be replaced with correct cannon wheels. Hopefully will have that up to snuff by the end of the summer.

Hey all,

As had been discussed across a few different threads in this sub-forum I was on the hunt for an English Light 6, well due to issues with the barrel maker I steeled on a 3 pounder gun, the barrel from South Bend replicas was picked up new and unused from a fellow forum member who was just the right guy at the right time. And I am working with Trail Rock Ordnance to make the carriage for me. The carriage is of the Townsend Pattern. Steve down at TRO, who is been thus far a great guy to work with just sent me update with some photos and things are progressing quite nicely. I wanted to share it here. I'll have more to come in the future.

I am in the process of starting a new Rev War artillery group here in New England and this will be our first gun. While this particular cannon type is not exactly what I need for a totally historically accurate impression it will certainly get us started while I continue to hunt down a more appropriate cannon to add to the group.

Cheers!
envious of you having a group. good work sir wish you good fortune. love you artillery assemblage.
 
If y'all ever bring your gun to an event in the Southern Campaign, to Guilford or Camden, let me know! I'm with Kingsbury's Artillery. We have plans to replace our iron gun with a bronze one eventually. We've been British Artillery more often than Continental lately, so we might find ourselves in a cannon duel with you and your folks.

I'm hoping as we grow as a unit to travel to some of the southern events, at least the 250th cycle ones!
