Default 75mm Pack Howitzer M1A1 on Carriage M8

On the off chance anyone has any of these parts spare...

Am looking for all parts except the breech ring.

PM me if you have anything for sale - or know anyone with any parts.

Thanks

Tim

PS - This is for one of these:

I do have a breech handle - broken by the army or someone years ago and badly welded back together, so am in the market for another one.

Not got it yet - but it is in the UK now!

There was another for sale - which assuming the new owner can get the export licence (not demilled) will go to Belgium.

The other two... dont know... they are also both Ex-British Army.

Cheers

Tim

I also need a Breech Block.

Or... to find a company here in the UK who can make me a new one - I have a pattern.
