RobL Posted 1 February , 2013 Share Posted 1 February , 2013 Does anyone have a copy of the handbook for the 2.75 inch mountain gun, ie an original or PDF, or have access to one? I'm aware of a digitised one but unfortunately it doesn't have any of the plates, which are what i'm after Best regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelfe Posted 3 February , 2013 Share Posted 3 February , 2013 Pop down to the Clavell library in Woolwich, they probably have box of 2.75 inch How stuff. You have to search they don't have indexes for box contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted 3 February , 2013 Share Posted 3 February , 2013 Would that be the 'screw gun' that you can't get way from? Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted 3 February , 2013 Author Share Posted 3 February , 2013 It certainly is. Here is one of my shots of one in the Heugh Battery Museum, Hartlepool. I've been in touch with the RA Museum who have a copy, however proving rather hard to get down there anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
