Great pics Rob Nixon...
and I love your super clean shop! Spotted artillery tools on the table and I love to see pics with the ordnance/box's/kit along side the gun. Beautiful! I will have you know, not that I'm counting, but your latest pics/views put this thread over the 15,000 seen mark. A lot of interest in the history of the 17 pdr... Dave, all I can offer on a - 30c cold winter night is a red/green/yellow flare pistol show and a glass of the red nectar. Come on down. Cheers Rob

Tempting Mr. Fast! Antifreeze is a prized commodity these days and a good flare shot might just help me spot those elusive 17-pdr photos for you once and for all.
By the away. I see your Winston and raise you a George! David Last edited by David Dunlop; 22-02-15 at 02:33. Reason: Photo added

A little update on the 17 pdr.
Just positioned the barrel into the gun in Harold Kihn's shop, about to start the manufacture of the barrel clamps. Starting to look like a gun! Cheers Rob

covers
The correct muzzle cover is 'cover muzzle No 49' this is the same as used on the 6 pounder as well. The No 39 muzzle cover is exactly the same size and construction although it is designated a cover for the 5.5 medium gun so has a different part number.
I have never seen a sight cover before apart from in pictures. Rob..........rnixartillery. Last edited by rnixartillery; 27-07-19 at 20:58.
