Extractor Claw M1 firing lock and parts 75mm brass case (fired and in good order) 75mm alloy case - blank (fired or live) Empty Powder bags for 75mm case (ammo was semi-fixed, range controlled by the powder bags in the case, remove one to reduce distance).

Guest matt Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi Tim, I maybe able to help with a couple of things. Can you post details of the tools and the part# for the tool roll. I know someone who may have or be able to get the cardboard ammo tubes. Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packhow75 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Matt Any help would be excellent. I will dig out the part numbers and get back to you asap - likely due to work to be Friday or Saturday. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packhow75 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sorry for the delay in replying... Bits I'm Looking for: For Breech mechanism M13 Firing Lock - C8662 Trigger Shaft - A12138 Trigger Assembly - A207711 Extractor - B8027-5 Cover - A12131-2 Pivot - B8029 For M13 Firing Lock Spring, Sear - A12135 Sear - B8031-8 Fork - A12132-9 Pin, Firing - A12755 Tools: Roll, Tool - T2 Roll, Tool - M4 Ammo tubes Dont have the exact part number - but they have "75mm How" pressed into the ends... Telescopes and Mounts I have both the M3 and M3A1 mounts and the M62 and M1 scopes... however, the M62 scope is mounted in the M9 adapter which in turn sits on a spacer block before screwing to the M3A1 mount.... I need to get the spacer block. The shell case might be of interest - would depend on the rest of the headstamps and price.... I already have 18 brass cases, but some of them were dug at Arnhem and therefore arent serviceable. Any assistance with the above would be great Also happy to consider any other Pack Howitzer spares... even another complete gun !
