What is the ordnance itself, it's not a 6pdr breech ring?

Hi Adrian,
The owner told me it's a 40mm Bofors breech. Cheers,

Are the bare bones of it a Cdn/British 6-pdr, or a 57mm American clone?

Here is the same gun, it was the one I was trying to get last year, but couldn't pull it off, has pics and info towards the end, under my postings, not Marc's postings, the other is his.

Paul got a great deal on this AT gun. gun in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWW8yHjnKn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwoQEdhXPD0

It's mine. It's 1942 Canadian production but has a 40mm bofors breech.
