Probably maybe, AN1604 is a Sleeve, recuperator 1010-99-962-2388

 

The NSC 1010 is for guns over 30mm up to 75mm

Missed "a p" do you mean "AP"? If so that suggests Admiralty Pattern

 

As it happens checking the NSN it has both Army & RN usage. In RN usage the reference given is NOD3138-501, perhaps the stores reference of the Naval Ordnance Department?

 

I can't get any leads on NM41.

Does it look like the bit in this sectional drawing? If it does it's a Bofors recuperator sleeve. And the number AN1604 is very close to another bit of the recuperator spring fittings which I've got, AN1606, so I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

 

The 41 in NM41 will be the year of manufacture.

 

If it's a Bofors bit, can I have it? I need one for a spare barrel that we've just got for the museum's C9/B. PLEEEEEASE! PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

Aye, it seems that it's one of the parts that I'm wanting. What a result, and all thanks to this forum! And Chindit, of course! Thanks.

[Ivor Ramsden]

The bit is definitely a sleeve for the Bofors. It's now polished and in place on our spare barrel.

 

Thanks again, Chindit, and well done, HMVF!
