2 pdr breech mechanism

[Ron Pier]

I don't think so Kev. My engineer mate who helped me no end with my 2 pounder project also made replicas of the 6 pounder striker for Nigel Montgomery's 6 pounder Churchill tanks and they are much bigger than my 2 pounder striker. Ron

Ron, do you have a photo of yours in position, I think a 6 pounder striker will fit in the 2 pdr block and engage, but it's shaft is longer so could be modified to resemble a 2 pdr one. I have a couple of 6 pdr deactivated strikers here.

The 6pdr striker is larger than the 2pdr striker in all dimensions. It is just scaled up from memory, but with an extra long front piece

[Ron Pier]

Kev I think David is correct. I'm sure every dimension of the 6 pounder is bigger. Here is mine mounted. The one on the vice is another one that I acquired but long gone now. Ron

If you lay a 6 pdr block next to a 2 pdr block the hole and keysize I believe is physically the same, I'll make a comparison this evening and post photos.

[kevin powles]

I think the 6pdr striker was basically derived from the 2 pdr one, has anyone got a picturr comparison of a two pdr striker next to a 6 pdr one.

Tomorrow I'll ask my mate what drawings he has.....If any.
