Howdy Guys,

Has anyone got a pic of a complete projectile for the 3Pdr 2CWT tank gun? I have a fired one that I wanting to replicate the screw on nose piece.

Even a drawing that shows the profile would be helpfull.

Thanks,

Thanks weasel & Quatermass for the info & link to previous thread.

Has anyone come up with an unfired complete one yet, I know of about 4 of these in Australia but all are in about the same condition & all fired! But the cases are not to be found (47 X 350R). Plenty of the 47 X 376R here tho.

Regards Ozzi.

I know of one here in the UK (owned by a BOCN member) that is also a fired practise shot. The one I saw has a replica cap that has been turned on a lathe. The cap was not quite made right so I did some modifications to it.
