Customer Built Field Carriage....for real
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:08:29 AM »
Just received these photos from a customer showing his BROOKS-USA 69 cal Mountain Howitzer mounted on the field carriage he just completed. He did an outstanding job building the carriage and topped it off with beautiful wheels built by a wheelwright.
