Don't get your hopes up, Tim, but how much? I crewed a mortar a couple of times for Battery C and had a ball (no pun intended).

Sorry Bob, I knew that I forgot something. I just edited the post to add the price.

Hey Tim, how much does it weigh, and how do you transport it?

[propertymanager]

It weighs approximately 1600 lbs.
I used a couple different trailers to haul it on. The trailer has to have a winch installed to load it and 2 pieces of steel "c" channel to use for ramps.
It draws a lot of attention when shooting it in a match.
It also is relatively economical to shoot, takes about 1400 grains to shoot 100 yds, which is only 1.5 pounds of powder per match.
