17 pdr. box repos
A chap down in Ottawa gave me the basic outer measurements, but indeed missed a lot of the internal drawings. I built my lids with no internal dividers attached to them, I put them in the box so I could display the rounds. Looking forward to any details with pics that you can provide here. Cheers Rob

Rob,
Your friends did a nice job on the muzzle brake. Reminds me of machining the muzzle brake for my Sexton. I started out with a 140 lb. piece of steel, and ended up with a 45 lb. replica.

HE box... 1943 dated... Think is missing one end packing piece which i assume was block with holes to protect primers.
The lid has blocks to hold the cases. Note... Base of box is ply laminate. Tim

Tim,
judging by the diameter of the hole through the end block would you say it should have wire handles bound with leather or spliced rope. I have boxes here with both types. If they are rope I am happy to fit new ones if you are up this way,rope splicing is one of my seldom used talents ! Rob....................rnixartillery.
