It come off a old firing range. I was told. It has a couple bullet holes in the cut off trails that I'm going to leave.
Barrel is bad, and recoil mech is bad, so it will never be live fire, but will make a good static display, or blank fire. I made a LARGE circle to pick up a bunch of stuff for me, and others.... Went from Memphis, to Colorado Springs, to pick up a halftrack engine, and drive axle. Then went to Sonda Arizona, to get fender, and misc floor boards. Then to Phoenix to pick up a lathe. Then to College Station to pick up the cannon. Then home.

Coming back together nicely and fast, well done. I can see there is another twin 57mm being restored at the same time?

That is at Marshall's place Ordnance.com. He is doing several different ones.
He's doing the restoration on it. He found out a tank must have run over it, because the 3" diameter pin on it was bent, and the had to make a new one for it.
