Latest restoration of the 6pdr is underway,I managed to knock the gun down in two days but it took quite a bit of brute force and effort,big hammers and all that.
There are various parts of the gun that have not stood time so well ,so I have had to remanufacture some parts and also had parts re-turned.
The trail sections of the gun had also been badly damaged so I have spent alot of time heating and beating back into shape.
know into the re-build things are SLOWLY coming back together,the axle tree is complete with new brake parts etc and I am currenly working on the second trail so I should have a restored gun carriage within the next few weeks.
next on the list is the cradle and recuperator.
