Bofors 40mm Restoration at Submarine Museum

[pekelney]

Folks,

The restoration of a Bofors 40mm Army M1 gun on M3 mount for USS Pampanito is progressing. We have posted a detailed description of the project at:
http://maritime.org/pres/bofors/index.htm

We are still looking for some parts:

We would appreciate any help in finding the last pieces, or at lease the short term loan of a set of handles and a rear shield so we can draw them up to make good replicas. We are still looking for parts drawings of the mount.
