Hi All.
I managed to get a couple of afternoons off from work this week after spending what feels like forever behind the wheel of a snow plough/Gritter.
Went straight into the workshop and assembled some more of the gun,I had prepared quite a few bits but needed to get the barrel on to continue.
The slipper required a fair bit of work due to corrosion so I ended up cutting the rot out and replacing, and renewing the steel and leather slid seals.
I had a few problems sliding the barrel onto the recuperator it didn't go on as easy as I would have liked but we got there in the end.
Spent this afternoon fitting all the bits to it so it has come on quickly,the next job is to fabricate the main gunsheild so I need to locate patterns,dimension etc and also looking for the sight assembly so if anyone out there can help it would be grately appreciated.
I have some new and unissued no4 mop bags dated 1943 so if there are any 6 pdr owners out there who need some send me a pm,will post anywhere.
