No - dont have this... only have the breech block, barrel and mount... need all the bits which go underneath this and the elevation gear down to the bottom of the turret basket.

Looking for any parts to help the rebuild... the fewer parts that need to be bodged or fudged... the better!

Trying to find good clear photos of the missing parts, master parts list, drawings, manuals, etc

Planning a trip to Bovington later in the year.

Cheers
