Muzzle brake for the 17 needed.
I will try one more time here...looking for a muzzle brake. I realize this is a tough find, so if it doesn't show up, I am prepared to proceed with casting a replica. Possibly my winter project. Thanks for your consideration. Cheers Rob

Wish I could help Rob. I have had two spare over the years but swapped the last one for a 6 pdr brake a few years ago. They are not unknown over here, I'll ask around.

Had a fantastic day with F.G.H. veteran Stan Butterworth...
His story is truly a fascinating one. A real gentleman, it was an honour to spend some time with him.The Dutch guys here whom I am sure are aware of the Groningen history will enjoy this.

Muzzle brake manufacture 17 pdr...
Well, away we go with this little project, it's good to have a machinist friend Harold Kihn who has the tools and the know how to replicate this tough to find piece, my gun is missing. Just a couple of pics very early on in the process. Cheers Rob
