Have "Bofors" will travel

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank you Godwin for this info. Interesting.

We also used L/60 munitions for L/70 during some years. Designing the L/70 began in 1942. The first prototype was ready in 1947. Swedish design was m/48 but series production and export began in 1951.

For using old stocks of L/60 ammo an hybrid barrel m/36-48 was designed.

In 1941 there were 144 Bofors guns on Malta. A well trained guncrew usually hit the target using only some 20 rounds.

Picture: June 1942. Royal Marines handing over two Bofors guns to the Army (RA or RMA?).
