Kev here are some excerpts from my 2 pounder manual. Happy to copy other pages if needed. But Rob Van Meel has made a copy of my entire manual Here if you need it. 168 pages plus plates etc.

Thanks Ron, that's most helpful will order a copy, I'm also after the barrel dimensions for the Mk1 flared end barrel as seen here. I know yours is the later barrel profile.

Cheers Ron.

Got the Barrel back from the blasters today after deactivation, thanks to all those that helped with this, one more step closer to getting it on the carrier. Have some cocking handle catches here to if anyone needs one.

Merry Christmas ⛄️

seems a shame to deactivate it, but its looking great nonetheless !

will the carrier still fit in the shed with the blast shields fitted to the main gun ? I bet its a tad taller than an average carrier
