I am attempting to build HMS President light Frigate model, it comes with what look like slides for the brass cannons, I think the ship is of the 1750/60s and I wasn't aware that cannons of this size ( I suspect 9 pounders) would be on wheel less carriages, can anyone help in this respect,? should I use wheeled carriages, should the guns be brass, bronze or iron?

Thank you all, I think that 'Bilge Rat' has it right, they have made these parts as cheap as possible, I shall put these aside and buy small cannons from somewhere that at least look like cannons,
Having started this kit I am struggling with the planking using the information and pictures that have come with it, also the blocks do not look right and I will replace these also, but the dead eyes look good.
