Hello to you all.... love the site. I've gleaned some wonderful info from you all over the years. I would like to ask if anyone out there has, or can point me in the right direction for any 105mm Howitzer projectiles, I am very interested in this calibre so any projectiles at all, fired or otherwise would be wonderful. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.:wink:
 
Just so everyone is on the same page, there are a lot of 105mm items out there. Do you have a particular manufacturing country in mind? The U.S. has had a 105H since 1929. Germany had a variety, etc.
 
Hi..thanks for the reply..The 105mm I am interested in is the US version. I was in the Australian artillery and we fired the M2A2 model so it's the shells for this one I am after. Shells manufactured in other countries are also interesting to me. I suppose the main one I am looking for is the Illum shell, which, as you know, has a totally different shape to the rest. Again, thanks for the reply.:bigsmile:
 
FYI, the CS-Gas projo is the same shape as the Illum., if you are looking for that specific shape.
 
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Do you know of any sources ??:tinysmile_fatgrin_t
 
Well, since you want the U.S. versions, I would say they are probably more available here, but don't know of any at the moment. You would have a lot less postage to pay if you found one in the UK or Europe.

May some of our other members know of some sources.
