andym Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 After a false start with the 433 that was advertised on Milweb for £6k, I found myself another one thanks to Sharkey who tipped me off. The pack was removed to fix a gearbox problem but never found its way back again, so I've got an interesting jigsaw job to reassemble the pack with the guts of a 432 one. Once I've got the pack sorted I'll think about the gun, which is currently deactivated. I've heard of people holding these on a FAC and it would be nice to put blanks up the breech for shows. The company I bought this from has another 433 for sale, in roughly the same sort of state but a runner. PM me for contact details if you're interested.

andym Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Delivered to her new home in sunny Devon for some TLC on Friday. Being sunny Devon, it poured with rain. With no gearbox to twiddle round and facing downhill, a gentle prod was all that was needed to get her down on her own. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
