Product Description

CAN43 – British Light Six Pdr. 1/3 scale, solid, 31#, 22-3/4″ long.

One of two British Light Sixes acquired by Hern Iron Works. May we present the 1/3 scale British Light Six Pounder. We had opportunity to get this 1/3 scale high quality pattern and it is now in process of getting setup for production. We will be casting Six right off for the initial customer orders & inventory. You can place your order now at the sale introductory price of $398 as we get true pricing models setup – order soonest to take advantage of this.

Pattern will be in setup/modification for a couple weeks. Production will be another 6 weeks. First orders will be ready to ship early September.

This little beauty is cast in modern Ductile Iron (80,000 psi Tensile strength) as a solid piece. Designed for a true static display. Any bore would have to be done by the customer; 50 caliber, up to 1″ bore.

Note in the following pictures, the 1/3 scale British Light Six is shown along side the 1/4 scale Parrott and the Rat Tail Swivel Gun. In this picture, the 1/3 scale British Light Six is showing its true to scale Trunnions; just under 7/8″ diameter & 4-5/8 over all length. One of the changes we are making during the pattern setup will be to increase this diameter to 1″ and the overall length to 5-5/8″. This will match the dimensions of the 1/4 scale Parrott, and allow us to create a common Cap Square for mounting to a carriage that could fit either barrel. Our thought is that a purist could reduce them back to true scale, but that for the convenience of a common mounting it would be much more difficult to add structural materiel. Plus, the load rating of the wood carriage does not scale down in the same ways the iron barrel will; the extra length of trunnions will allow a stronger carriage.
