  2. Hi

    I am a newcomer to the HMVF site.

    I wonder if anyone knows of one of the Bofors barrel cleaning staves that might be available.

    I have collected the brass jag, bronze brush and the bristle brush fittings, but lack the articulated stave. Photo attached.

    The jag seems to have spent a long time in the earth, so thoughts go to detectorists who might have found the brass fitting for the stave, wood long gone , etc.

    Thanks

      Hi There,

       

      Sorry for the late reply ,I don't log into this site very often.

      I did have a large stock of bofors gear at one point and about 30 unused cleaning staves alas they have all been sold.

      I do have some NOS barrel springs and a barrel changing tool.

       

      My email address is RNIXARTILLERY@BTINTERNET.COM

      Regards

      Hi Stuart,

      I had a guy email me earlier today regarding the quad mount bits I have for sale so if he does not want the seat belt I will let you know.

      I will have to check if I have a rammer but I do have an NOS Unissued barrel light for the 105.

      £120.

       

      Cheers

      Rob
