Wish I could help Rob. I have had two spare over the years but swapped the last one for a 6 pdr brake a few years ago. They are not unknown over here, I'll ask around.

Had a fantastic day with F.G.H. veteran Stan Butterworth...
His story is truly a fascinating one. A real gentleman, it was an honour to spend some time with him.The Dutch guys here whom I am sure are aware of the Groningen history will enjoy this.

Muzzle brake manufacture 17 pdr...
Well, away we go with this little project, it's good to have a machinist friend Harold Kihn who has the tools and the know how to replicate this tough to find piece, my gun is missing. Just a couple of pics very early on in the process. Cheers Rob

locking washer
Rob,
I have some NOS locking washers that go between the Muzzle and lock ring if you want one, you can have it if you cover the postage, I shouldn't think it will cost much. A Christmas present for the 17 pdr ! Rob......................rnixartillery Last edited by rnixartillery; 27-07-19 at 21:58.
