Necrothread arise!
Duly noted re paint/no point on the breech ring. We're hoping to go forward with a naked breech ring almost purely because we think it looks flash.
We've entered into the project wholeheartedly and have taken on a second gun, this one from a sister battery in Red Deer, AB. She is largely non-restorable, but we're learning a lot about the breed and will return her to her plinth in much better cosmetic condition than we found her. We also hope to weatherproof her as best we can.
Pics as they come available.
