Hello
There used to be an ammunition factory in St Marys Sydney Australia. As they were closing down I managed to buy most of their museum (long time ago now) but their working area outside was paved with new 25pr AP shot nose down in the ground. there was literally hundreds and hundreds of them. Got no idea what ever happened to them.

I thought it would be either India or Pakistan, they are the only countries who still make it as far as I know.

Ya its def made by POF,, the guns are great our guns only have about 10% of the barrell life used like,,, need sandblasting to remove all the paint but after that there the business!!!
 
do you use the 25 for gunnery training or OP training or are they your main weapon
 
25 Pounder
