90mm APCR Cockerill Round...

[Darren]

Hello Darren, Projectiles for the 90mm AT guns are more or less rare. The HEAT projectile 57/83 which would fit to your case are extremely rare, sorry for thatI have to go through my spare parts about the primer. I will let you know I have one.

Regards

Martin

Thanks for the info Martin, i will have to keep my eye open for one of those projectiles.

Heavy ?

Just weighed the projectile and it weighs 4.2kg

Cheers,

Interesting Darren as I think that is a little heavy for one of those !

I must have a look and see what the weights should be.
Thanks for the info.

Different cases

So the 90mm Cockerill uses a 90x353R case (rim: 102mm).
But i think the Swiss case is 90x374R (rim: 106mm).
Can anyone confirm or comment on this? Thanks very much

No comment on my observation/query about the lengths and rim diameters of these 90mm cases??

 

[Darren]

Can anyone offer any other info on this round in my first post? I'm still no closer to finding out exactly what this round is.

 

[Darren]

I am still not convinced that it is a practice round re painted.

I do have some NR reference numbers on a MECAR folder, but the NR489 isn't on it...
