Default rammer

The Rammer is a large heavy spring loaded tray which fits in the bofors casing.. The round falls through the gates and lays on the rammer, Its then thrown forward when the gun is fired and rams the round into the chamber..

How much of the bofors do you have?

The rammer pins onto your breech, if you look at your top photos, top right photo on the right there are two holes which take the rammer securing pin.

The rammer pins on here and is a large gun metal tray with a spring inside and claws which throw the round into the breech.

How much of the cannon do you have? Do you have the housing which takes all these parts? You top photos show the breech casing, do you have the bit that it slides into.. including the cocking lever and selector lever?

I Am guessing you have an entire bofors cannon minus a mount?

I can photo a rammer tomorrow if you want to see one.
