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.

Gun markings on this 17 pic?
can anyone help with the very faint markings on this gun? How were guns marked, and where were the markings located ? Just gave my 17 the last coat of deep bronze green, I think I nailed the colour. Just got my camera back from repair, I know pics are always nice, they are on the way. Breech canvas cover pic? Cheers Rob Fast
