Repo breech is being made........


To start with, a reminder of what I started with........

Marshall installed a Israeli lunette ring, and I have the original ring.

If you don't mind us knowing- what did the original unrestored piece cost you, and what did it cost all told to restore it?

Right now, I'm not doing it live, I have a WC63 and do reenactments, and displays for schools, Veterns Day, 4th of July, and such.

The barrel would have to be sleeved, and a bunch spent on the recoil system to ever make it work.

I purchased it several years ago. Several things stopped me from doing any work on it. My Daughter became very ill, sold my Stuart tank, and just stored the cannon. It came off a firing range. and I gave........wait for it........

1,500.00.....

I worked a deal with the restorer and It cost me nothing. If I had to have paid, we figure it would have been around 10 grand.
