3 inch ordnance rifle

[German - Tailor]

I just got a 3 inch ordnance rifle barrel and now I need to start the hard part.Where do you guys recommend as the best place to get blueprints and hardware for the carriage? Is there a book or manual that would make my life easier? I can't find anyone local that does artillery that will give me the time of day unless I "donate" my cannon to thier group.

Who manufactured the tube? They should be the first ones you start with.

Richard,
Give Steve Cameron a call. He is in Blaine, TN. He is in the business of making of Civil War Artillery, carriages, tubes, implements, etc. He does outstanding work. His phone number is 865-932-1200.
