Wanted: Barrel to mock up a cannon

[Jon Bradshaw]

I would like to mock up a cannon on my reproduction Vickers model 1937 command tank. Originally it would have had a 2pdr / 40mm barrel. I would love a section of a barrel with rifling to make the end so that when it is looked down ( as it will be) it looks the part. A complete barrel or part of one, something between 30mm and 50mm would pass casual inspection. Anything between 2ft and 6ft long would be good. Also if it had a muzzle brake? But that is something I can make to fit it. Anti-aircraft barrel would work as well, I could weld it into a bigger pipe.

A bit of a long shot but if it's out there, I'm sure somebody on here has one.

Probably best not to try to import it, so just guys from Canada.

There are plenty of shot out 105 barrels available out this way, but they are way way way too big for the project you are doing. A Bofors barrel would be perfect for what you describe, and they are a workable size. I do have a very short section (about 4 inches I think) to spare, but no full barrels around here to part with.

There is a spare Bofors barrel at Crown Surplus in Calgary, but I am pretty sure it is still there for a reason.

Thanks for the info> A Bofors barrel would be fine. If you had 4 feet instead of 4 inches that would be a lot better.

Hope somebody will come through for me.....

I never thought about that until you "raised" it Lance
