A couple of 20x103mm displays that I thought someone might enjoy. The large one dates from the 70's with the M numbered rounds. The small one has the later PGU series. The left one is the PGU-27/B TP; the center the PGU-28/B SAPHEI; and the right is the PGU-30/B TP-T.

I'd love a mint PGU-28/B but I've never seen one for sale over here.
Same goes for the light-alloy cased 30x113B M789 HEDP.

I'm also still looking for a PGU-28 to add to my collection. It would shurely be a valuable addition;

Tony,
If I had an extra M789 I'd send it to you, but only have the one. They are scarce even here in the US. Mine is on the far right of the first photo. The first three aluminum cases are Amron manufacture, then an Amron steel case and a fired case I am not sure of. The left cartridge is a durable dummy with a large screw in the case base, then an XM788 TP loading. The second photo is the cutaway M789 compared to an HEDP loading in the shorter case 30mm WECOM round. I threw in the last photo of two more cutaway WECOM HEDP projectiles because of the lower projectile. It has a fluted cone liner to counteract the spinning of the projectile and the break-up of the shaped charge jet and slug that the rotation causes. Very few medium caliber rounds have used a fluted cone.
