Was it built by Regina Industries Ltd? I.e. the GM Regina, Sask, plant? They did also build in Oshawa plant as well.

Hi David
Not sure of manufacture as yet ,I have just got the 6pdr and there is a multitude of markings on the Gun.
I have just completed the restoration of a 1943 105mm M2 Howitzer which has taken most of my spare time up so I can know concentrate on the little 6pdr.

Border City Industries also I think did some 6-pdr work at the new plant in Walker Road, Windsor. Another wartime GM of Canada company!

You will be pleased to know the GM building still stands in Regina. It is used by a wide variety of businesses, including a small-ish film studio. It is the largish building in the NW corner of Winnipeg St and 8th Avenue. http://maps.google.ca/maps?sourceid=...image&resnum=1
