Please correct me if I'm wrong.... I'm learning loads. As long as its not cheesing off Ryan..

Sorry if anyone is cheesed off.

In my defense, I was only observing that Ryan started a thread in the Armour section titled 'Ryan's M3 Medium' and we've detoured onto Sentinel's which don't have an M3 Medium bottom half, and 17pdr's which I don't think were fitted to Lee/Grant in any normal capacity. Staying on-topic and starting alternate threads for off-topic stuff can make it easier to find info later if some organisation is put into the threads.

Tony I've scrounged a little bit of info on the Sentinel over the years and don't recall that the twin short 25pdr was employed only for the purpose you describe but you may well have more or other info and/or a better memory of what you've seen than me. I think you're saying that the Twin short 25pdrs may have avoided the need to manufacture a new turret to test the ability of the ring, etc, to cope with the 17pdr.

In over 20 years I've expended significant funds and hard work to gather almost enough bits to restore an M3 Medium, along with a Valentine project including upper armour. So when time allows I love to share information and learn more!

Peace Brothers!

My Missus reckons its porn to me!

Any spare M3 turrets over there in the West Alex?
