casings
The casings went on to other homes, I went to check near the end of day two and all shell casings were gone.

Seems to me there was something like that in the same pile of stuff where you got that gun. In fact I sandblasted it and was puzzled why there was no rifling in what I thought was the barrel Years later I realise it was the sleeve.
Anyway, it is sitting in Westbourne in front of the old store/pool hall. I may be through there tomorrow, so I'll check it out then and compare what's there with the 17 pdr on the base here.

Thanks for the effort Rob...
I still think that there might be a small piece of the big 17 sitting in some obscure pile of salvage. But you know the yard better than anyone, and this was close but no cigar. Cheers Rob
