Did you remember to take some measurements from the barrel? Need to reproduce one for my DAC. Thank you!

Ordnance is now assembled and painted ,very pleased that it all went together by hand , nice and smooth, no hammers or blocks required !
Shield is at the blasters so I am hoping to get that back in the next couple of days so I will prep and prime but will not top coat until it is ready to be fitted.

Rob.

I was reviewing this thread and took a closer look at Post 31, as the curved metal plate forward of the tyre caught my eye.

Is this part of a braking system, a mud clearing system, or something entirely different?

Is that a British thing Rob? The mud cleaner. You see it on No.27 limbers but not the 25 pndr gun.

Nice work Rob, I have a question which you might be able to answer the 2 pdr slipper block I have doesn't have the Middle keyed top to it like yours, I'll post two pics one of yours and one of mine, wouldn't be that mine perhaps came out a armoured vehicle rather than artillery piece?

Jack,

It was a standard fitting ,there are some guns in Oz with the brackets fitted .
I'm sure Scrivo's portee gun has them fitted and also Robs in Cairns to name a few although some brackets were fitted up side down underneath the frame .Lots of preserved Guns also have them missing completely.

Regards
