Tah Dah! End result. OK. Could use a couple more fills if one was going for perfect. I'm done. TESTORS Aluminum color.

The 57mm rcl was also used during the Vietnam conflict in Laos.

Riviving this old thread once again. If you ever wondered what happened to the guns (which were allegedly based on a stolen German WWII design), we gave them all to Germany's former Axis ally: Italy! From there, the Italians cuth them up & sold them to private parties in the U.S. Here is an entertaining read on one man's effort to rebuild such a gun; the story abruptly stops, though something tells me it may start again someday . . .
