12lb smoothbore canister question
« on: January 05, 2013, 05:31:44 PM »
I'm reconstructing a canister shell and sabot. Can someone tell me how far up in the canister the sabot extended. I want to be as correct as possible. Thatks everyone.

Do you mean how tall the wood sabot for a 12pdr Napoleon canister round was or how far the rebated area at the top of the same sabot extended up for the tin to be affixed to it?

Both would help. That way I get the location of the step.
