2 pounder anti tank gun

[Ron Pier]

Here are the 8 round tin containers and the ammo box on my 2 pounder. I'm hoping to replace this box with the correct locker soon. Ron

Hi Rod, Thanks for taking time to look at the detailed pics of the 2 pounder, If I am going to replicate this particular 2 pounder set up, I am going to need a 2 pdr barrel and what else do you see as original to a standard 2 pdr?. I am also going to need a 6 pdr sheild and other parts of the 6 pdr gun as you have mentioned. What I need is an expert to summarise what i need to put it all together.

I have been looking for a 2pdr but I guess now I only need limited parts from it and should be sourcing a 6pdr for parts from that too.

If someone could educate me on the specific items i need i may be able to build this gun from parts sourced, rather than buying a complete gun only to borrow certain parts from it.

The shield looks like an item I can make from scratch, so i need a 2 pdr barrel, 6 pdr saddle and elevator gear ?.



thank kevin.

well it looks like you need
6pdr elevator and saddle ,as well as shield and capsquares the gun is definently a 2pdr tank gun but they probably used anti tank gun barrels as well . The only unknown i can see is the recoil housing if they used a six poubder saddle then its common sense to thnk they used possibly a six pounder recoil housing with an adaapter slide on gun .
I do have a fair bit of those parts here but a fellow in uk has already expressed interest in the shield and 2pdr spares
what i have here is
shield half already aside for other fellow
saddle
recoil housing 6pdr
barrel 2pdr which from his last email may also be on hold for him
i also have an axle with saddle loop in place that probably is same mounting loop used on carrier
regards
