Many thanks to Waffy and Mick for delivering what is the biggest round ive got to date! A very nice 8-inch High Explosive shell. It was great to meet the guys and they are great fellas-thanks lads so much! Tim.

Nice bullet. They are a pig to move when they are empty.

The M106 projectile has a reputation for being extremely accurate.

It certainly was full of concrete! :xd:

Thats why that other round 'flew' out the car boot as it was a pussycat compared to the 8" one pictured.
Trust me on this when i say it was hard graft mauling it into the car at 06.30

At least you have something guaranteed to crack the mixed nuts at Christmas even those pesky Almonds LOL

Nice looking object but my Missus would kill me if I brought anything that big home, I was watching a 420mm Shell on specialistauctions.com but got cold Feet LOL

Good for you mate, I have a sectioned 105mm APDS, 2 x 30mm AFV Rounds and a pair of WW I German 150mm Brass Howitzer Cases either side of the Telly and my Missus does nothing but moan about cleaning them LOL
 
Nice projectile

There is just "something" about the fireside ornaments we like on here !]
Congratulations on acquiring on of the "big boys toys" for your collection.
Mine also sits in the lounge and I have told the misses that if she doesn't like then she can move it :xd:

I am worried that one day I will come home to find she has enlisted a few people to help her move it outside into the garden:eek:

My wife Sarah really is one of those rare girls who really doesnt mind as long as i dont have too many in the living room. I was going to move one of the smaller ones and she said "no youre not as ive got used to it being there"! Briliant!
