Fast 17 pounder
The gun is missing the barrel,breech ring, the guts of the gun are long gone, you take them the way you find them. I had to purchase a Leopard tank barrel as part of the deal, so I have something to fake it with. So the search is on for an orginal barrel/breech/muzzel brake etc....!
Just getting into the rust and seized bearings etc... all stamped "Made in England", I realized I am getting into BSF tap and dies." Shit" would be the right Canadian term to use here. There is a great shot of a Canadian 17 pounder knocking out a water tower in the Canadian News Reels DVD, episode Road to the Reich, Newsreel 44. Anyone have a Canadian source for BSF 1"-10 castle nuts, both axle nuts were gone and I was lucky to get it up on the trailer. Cheers , Rob
