Hi,
I am looking for two M4 Sherman/Staghound turret locks for a pair of Stags that I am rebuilding. Can anyone Help!?
Cheers - Tobin

Are you sure you need Sherman locks? The outer face of the lock is machined to the same radius as the turret ring which is much bigger in Sherman than in Staghound.

Hi Adrian, You may be right but I have had no joy finding any Stag units. I have a bronze blank that was cast up a few years ago but the machining is complex to say the least. I can machine a spacer to take account of the different diameters more easily I think. Best regards. Tobin
