So, in the opinion of the members here, what company makes the best (most accurate, well-modeled) guns for 15mm? I note that some of the companies don't have pictures of their guns/figures on line. Some that come to mind: Battle Honors (no pictures, just says Union/Confederate artillery – not sure what that means?) Stone Mountain Musket Miniatures Old Glory 15s I am sure there are others. Hate clunky looking thick wheels on guns. Appreciate the feedback. |

Stone Mountain and Musket IMO. Both done by the same sculptor I believe. |

IMO it is Stone Mountain. Great sculpts and variety. And easy to tell the differences between types (easier than remembering the difference between a Wiard and James rifle). |

Definitely Stone Mountain. IMO, no other company has captured the curves correctly for the Napoleon and 3" Ordnance Rifle. Mine are all Stone Mountain with Old Glory gunners.

No doubt about it. Stone Mountain all the way. And second place is a long way from ‘me. |

I'll cast another vote for Stone Mountain. Bought my guns from then back in the late 1980s, and will gladly buy more from there when I need them. BWW |

For me it would be Blue Moon – I'm not a big fan of anything else they do (their horses look dreadful) but their equipment (for whatever period) is first rate. |

Isn't there a difference between US 12 lbs Napoleons and CSA Napoleons? Isn't there more of a bell on the US ones and the CSA ends are more blunt? CSA gun: link US: link |

Yes, the CSA Napoleons were cast without the flare at the muzzle later in the war. Mostly to conserve bronze. And then even later out of iron. But there were still plenty of former Union Napoleons in the arsenal as well. |

I'm having a hard time telling if the Stone Mountain one has that flair? |
Cleburne1863 | 15 Nov 2017 6:57 p.m. PST |
It does. They also sell straight CSA Napoleons as well I think. |

I preferred Minifigs cannon. I have now moved onto Blue Moon. |
