What an amazing 'swords to ploughshares' sort of situation.

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.

Default 25 pdr spares

Rick

If you pm a list of parts you need I may be able to help,although the postage could be a bit on the 'steep' side.
I also have accessories,quite a few original spares boxes at the moment.
