Another 6 pdr

Mike, this is the style that Dusan made and the catch matches this gun which I think is in Canada. Sorry about the image quality!

The other style is, I think, British production.

Just to clarify, the gun outside is in Canada, the odd coloured one is in the Littlefield Collection.

A friend of mine has a container with Artillery parts shipping from the USA to the UK in the next few months. I can ask him if he's got space.

Thanks Tim, I think it may be more of a problem getting it to the US as across the ocean!

I find there is a lot more scrutiny on items crossing the US/Cdn border than items from overseas. It is a bit of a crap shoot, which I don't like playing on items that are hard to replace. I believe it comes about as part of the US/Cdn arms smuggling initiatives.

An example of this is ebay, where many Canadian buyers will bring items in from Europe rather than the US. Apparently on occasion the US has even seized Lee Enfield stocks in the mail that were leaving the country without the required permits.

Now if we were in Mexico, we could have just added the goods to the "Fast and Furious" manifests.

Mike's idea is a good one. If the HJ purchase comes to fruition this upcoming summer, it can easily be added to the load.

I agree Rob, the parts we all treasure are too hard to find to risk having them lost on a whim.

This spare parts box is on the 6 pr at Firepower museum, UK.
