Hi Tony,

I'm guessing it's for a 4.5 inch naval round and projectile.

I measured my case and it would leave approx 8 inches or so for the projectile to be accomodated in the tube.

Cheers,
Andy

Way to big mate the inside of the tube,is only 4 inches diameter,i wonder if its for a rocket motor or something?
