Mansfield #4
« on: May 10, 2012, 04:08:36 PM »
6.4in Parrott bottlenose bolt.  You don't see these often, much less fired.  Broke my own rule about acquiring the heavy stuff for this one but it was too cool to walk past...

Dang, that's a nice bolt. I have an unfired one, but a fired one....with the sabot...that's rare.

Just think of all the other "heavy" ordanance you could have purchased if Carl was along to lug it around for you  :)
Really fine shell - great iron and sabot - thanks for sharing your latest acquisitions with us

If a big hunk of iron can be cute this qualifies.
