Default Bofors 40 mm

Hi last weekend I just bought 2 bofors, One build at OTIS Canada in 1946 breech nr L8216. The second one I'm not sur were this one is build On the brass plate it shows only breech nr L16461 DC 1943. Both had an undercarrage but as both guns will be mounted onbroad of our submarine chaser we just bought the guns and not the carrage.

Apropos of pretty much nothing, where in the hell has Stellan got off too?
Ever since he took up with a new girlfriend he rarely posts.

Default Carriage armor???

Any of that flat frontal armor on your carriages? Too expensive to ship back to Canada, but I could sure use a set for my Bofors! Cheers Rob

Hi,
Are the carriages of the type with the removable outrigger legs, tubular and with a jack on the end?
I am very much in need of a pair of outriggers for my Bofors. Let me know as soon as possible, PLEASE!!!

Default 40 mm bofors

We only bought the guns and mounts the undercarriage where not included an we left them at the seller. He is located just above Birmingham in the UK. Visist his website and email him I guess he was not going to scrap them. www.jpdeacts.com
