This mortar looks great on the Base available on this site as a Hardware Kit and Plans for the Coehorn mortar bed. You will not be disappointed with this historically accurate Kit & gun!

These are specialty bolts for this historical reproduction kit. As such they are special ordered up in quantity to get the correct dimensions and specification for head design and the rest. The benefit to you as the customer is that there is an accurate bolt & nut available that would not otherwise be on the market. This also allows me to hold pricing over time due to the bulk purchase. {March 2025 5+ sets in inventory now! }
From John Hern’s original instruction sheet (provided with the kit): “This set of hardware is designed to provide the builder of a Coehorn Mortar bed – metal parts as close as possible to the original specifications. The furnished drawing is taken from original War Department sources and should be referred to in the event of questions. Originally, the hardware was all hand forged according to the drawing. Since this would be cost-prohibitive today, we have supplied the closest commonly available item.”
