Hi there, For 25mm figures, where to find Swedish guns for Bernadotte's army smaller than those sold by Elite Miniatures? |

Thank you, but do you know the diameter of the wheels of this gun and the length of its tube with the Breech button? |

Unfortunately not, which figure make are planning to use these with? |

OK, then I understand your question. I think the Perry might be on the bigger side of things. The Swedish army used 3lb guns as battalion guns and mostly 6 lb guns and 8lb mortars in the artillery companies. If you look at this thread TMP link you can see 18th century Swedish 3 lb guns that are quite similar, or not identical, as the Minifigs French 4lb Horse gun:

Thank you, but nowadays, which manufacturers have guns compatible with 25mm minfigs? Thank you again.. |

I think today the 28mm scale is predominant which unfortunately makes the guns a bit big compared to Minifigs |

Hinchliffe would be the closest, as they are contemporary 1970s designs. I used to play games with Hinchliffe guns and limbers next to Minifigs guns and limbers. There was no difference in size. The detail was a bit better on the Hinchliffe and the limbers came with all the ropes, cords, etc. |

It's not hinchliffe the smallest , the closest to minifigs… Wargames foundry and essex wargames are small, I'll check it soon… TMP link |
