Custom made ½ scale replica of a French Model 1897 75 mm field gun. This version is a muzzle-loader, with .22 blank ignition. Bore size is 2.25 in, and a round ball of lead weighs just over 2 lb. Total gun weight is about 475 lb. Recoil system consists of a double spring and pneumatic damper assembly, located below the barrel. Elevation is from roughly -10 to +15 degrees.
Hello,
Could you tell me does your French 75 have the recoil system? Does it fire blanks or live ammunition? I'm an producing a television show about artillery and would be grateful if you could get back to me.
Cheers,
Dom
