If you are fixed on hitching the limber to JJD's current 24 pounder ... Best you check first with your dealer before you order. I recall reading that this limber set only hitches JJD's 6 pounder. However I cannot recall reading that from where exactly.

Nevertheless .. its a beautiful limber set and will be adding to my NAPs. Even bought a spare 6 pounder already. {sm4}

It was from Sierra's April release information

THE BATTLE OF CHIPPEWA July 5th 1814
BRITISH FOOT ARTILLERY LIMBER

The new artillery tactics of this period relied upon the manoeuvrability of the guns and, of their supply of ammunition. Guns in the front line without ammunition were obviously useless. The British limber was designed to carry a certain amount of ammunition, as opposed to the French system which relied on a separate ammunition caisson.
The British limber was designed to carry 44-66 rounds, as well as entrenching tools, rope, blocks and tackles, and other necessary items.
The limber wheels were also of the same size, and strength as those of the gun carriage, which meant they could be used to replace a broken gun wheel.

** Please note that BCHGUN-01 is the only artillery piece that will fit with this limber**
