Hi Mike

I would check out Milweb and look under the artillery section. If you are willing to bring one over from England I have seen a couple that seem to come up from time to time on their listings for a reasonable price.

P.S.

Just checked Milweb for you, there are currently 2 Bofors listed, a project at 1975 british pounds and another at 6900 Euros. The first one looks like something to work with and seems pretty affordable, the other I think was a restored US made version hence the price. There is also a fellow who advertised one or two in the past that appeared quite complete for reasonable money. Maybe you could work a deal with one of the other collectors who brings over containers from time to time.
