Fox Bradley Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I am looking for a 30mm Rarden cannon and a GPMG to finish off a CVR(W) Fox that I have restored. Ideally I would like to get hold of. A Complete Deactivated Rarden. or. A deactivated breech assembly or. A replica breech assembly. ( apparently some were made by apprentices ) or. Any external breech casing parts that I can use to make my own dummy breech assembly. As far as a GPMG. The Deactivated ones are too much money now, considering that most of it will be hidden away in the turret. So I am looking for a good metal Replica or even a rough old De-act that I could make good. Thanks. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreicated. Bob Edited September 7, 2012 by Fox Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Bob Chris (sirhc) was doing the barrel troughs...then you just need a bit of gas pipe and a flash hider...not sure what benefit you get from a replica breech, just takes up room in the turret? I recently bought a replica gpmg to go on top of my spartan from military muckabouts (theyre on milweb). It is quite rough and ready from close up but fine from a distance and just over £300 all in so about one tenth the price of a deac and very quick turnaround. £2k seems hugely optimistic for a deac based on what ive seen! I think xfire still do them as well, a little more expensive... Cheers Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) thats why i said at least !, and not all deacts are sold by dealers;) Edited September 6, 2012 by griff66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I seem to recall that Manroy will sell you a brand new deactivated GPMG straight from the factory. No idea of cost, though. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to put a Breech assembly into the turret so that it looks right from the inside as well, I don’t really want a big hole in the back of the mantlet. I have been talking to Military Muckabouts for a couple of months. As they are a long way from me I was trying to get them to e-mail me a couple of decent photos of there GPMGs before I buy one. They seem very reluctant to do this and the Video they point me to on there web site is very poor quality. I had the feeling they would not be that good so decided not to buy. If you could post a couple of good photos on here it may help. thanks again. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi bob I may be in the shed on monday so will try and get you a couple of pics then. You are right in that they are very much at the 'film prop' end of the market, but to be fair I think the price reflects that...

ferretfixer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I seem to recall that Manroy will sell you a brand new deactivated GPMG straight from the factory. No idea of cost, though. Andy Yes Im SURE they will! £12,000 plus VAT, PLUS Deactivation Fee! I KNOW, I used to build them there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 gpmg on milweb at 2799 quid not bad price if u have that sort of money burning a hole in your pocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuits_brown Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Remember a replica will require you to have a VCRA exemption. A deac wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Don't forget the Co-ax will have to be the correct model L37A1 with the modded barrel and recoil buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
