Thats amazing, I guess the rest of them went to scrap or perhaps there's some really strong strainer posts around there

I've just discovered this thread as we were over in Normandy when it was topical. Well done Colin, have you fired it yet?

Does anyone have a striker case and firing pin available as I don't have one for either my 25pdr. long or for the short.
Thanks Rick.

jealousy really is a curse, will have to drag out the spares box, there were some breach block bits left over some still wrapped.
