Buy the lump of steel, get someone to turn it and drill it for you and build your own carriage.
Might not be as pretty as an old one but who could tell with that much smoke in the air.
Main thing that stopped the old man going further into it was the cost to shoot it, he was looking at between 30 N 50 bucks a shot
