how was the loshult gonne mounted?

[aapch1]

I'm thinking of getting a repro. Of the loshult. Question: how was the loshult mounted? What did it shoot? What size bore did it have?

I don't know how it was mounted, but here are some other details...

There is no provision for a tiller on the Loshult. It is not actually known when it was made but was probably a model for a cannon.

Any chance it was mounted as a mortar? A ring sandbag, a bipod...

It's only about a foot long. Maybe a hot-dog bun? Mustard and sauerkraut -- onions aren't period. OK, I'm hungry...

Onions may not by PC, but thats a great idea.
