Rob...
Looking at Hanno's post again, he DOES mention your need of a CMP TRUCK, but he DOESN'T mention it has to have an engine…
 Nice 2 Pdr by the way! David

Barrel Removal
I have just spent the day removing the Breech and barrel from the slipper which was a bit of a bitch but to be expected after 70 years or so.
Rigged up the usual set up to force the barrel out with the help of some heat. I also cleaned the bore with some steel bore brushes and it has come up as good as new. still need to remove the slipper from the recouperator so that's the next job,I wasn't going to do much to this before next year but things have snowballed so I might take it to bits and store it until my current project is finished.

Rob...
Were the upper shield hinges inoperable? They look to have undergone some serious heating?

Nothing moves freely on this Gun ,everything seized with rust,crap and paint.
It was a Gate guardian for decades and recently sandblasted and painted in situ several years ago to tidy it up. Heat is the number one tool at the moment and I have freed most of the movable component's and very pleased to have it traversing. The 2 pdr has a very unconventional traverse gear and quite over engineered considering the size of the piece ,typically British of the period. The shield has now been removed and I am in the process of getting the foot pedal firing linkage freed up but ultimately it all need to come apart to be cleaned. Rob.....................rnixartillery

Ordnance removed
A few pics of todays progress, the ordnance is now off the Carriage so I will get everything sandblasted and cleaned for repainting etc.
