Waffenamt my friend, are you misleading me?

Are you talking about the nasty big 12.7 CENTIMETRE shell? Your post was headed 12.7mm!

You know that it's small arms ammo I am interested in and I thought you had a nice HE .50 Browning or Vickers, not one of those overweight door stops!

Cheers,
TonyE

Chaps,here are few shots of my donored `half` from Micks project.
Its a bit rougher than the one my pal has as this was destined for scrap until i saw it!
I need to smooth down the burrs and polish it somehow??
Also,i will glue the ballistic cap on too.
I really would like a sectioned fuze to go in it and the `hammer` too.(please see wanted forum).

cheers

Really nice, Waff. If you do a 180 cut you can use the two halfs for do two cut aways? Hey, you are close, very close to the post 3000 arty:arty:arty:

Hi Miguel,

Luckily for me Mick didnt have the machinery large enough for a different cut,so i have ended up with the scrap bit but im very happy!
Yes,i just realised the same about nearly 3000 posts! maybe i shouldnt spend so much time here! :xd:
