Another 6 pdr

I'm not even sure I could bring that into the US without going through a lot of hoops and raising up some red flags.

If there were a container coming from Canada, could we do something?

Hi Adrian,

Congratulations on acquiring a 6pr! Looks pretty nice too.

Please post some close-up photos.

Cheers,

Possibly. But unless the container is coming from Manitoba, you are going to be paying shipping twice over. If the container was coming from somewhere like Southern Ontario, you are talking about approx 2500 kms. The sight assy isn't going anywhere, so if some shipping does come up, with a bit of advance notice we might be able to work something out.

I'll post some photos in a week or so once it warms up a bit. Right now it is -25°C out in the shed, and it is stowed behind the HUP if I recall correctly.

I am looking for a M2 105mm howitzer breech ring if you want to work out some level of a trade. A cut one is fine, as long as I have something to work with.

Adrian, congratulation to acquiring these very nice guns. Both look very complete. I have answered your question regarding spare parts box, in my thread. I can help.

Thanks guys, pics to follow!

Hi Rob: If things work out I may have a container going to the UK. If I can get the scratch together for the HJ project we may be able to move the Stookey stick sight to Ottawa from Shilo then onwards.

Adrian, if your making a spare parts box for your 6 pounder would you be willing to make two as I need one too!

Ubique! Mike

Mike, I certainly will!
