2 pdr
Hi Jon, The 2 pdr manuals will only help for stripping the barrel and breech mechanism, Once you remove the shield which then allows you to remove the barrel by taking off the two saddle top keeps you essentially have what is left all 6pdr, so you will need the manual I’ve attached here. The bracket which attaches the elevation gearbox to the recuperator is also unique to this mk of carriage to compensate for the smaller barrel ( I wouldn’t mind sone pictures of yours once you remove it). When you come to try and remove the pivot socket from it’s keep you will most likely have to weld a flogging bar onto the nut (fig 25) to get it to unscrew.
