This is exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to find out what an 18 lb pivot gun looked like on smugglers/slavers/privateer vessels in the 1820s. They were mentioned but even with Chappelle's drawings I had a hard time visualizing it. Is this possibly available in an .obj or .stl file for at least the gun and mount itself? Regardless you have done me a solid with this one sir!

Thanks for your amazing rendering. I was able to build one out in a CAD type program using your pics for a visual. It is on the printer right now and I will take pictures when it is finished. I needed this for my scratch build. Simulating the chamfer deck supports under the rail was tougher than I thought it would be.
