Looking for help locating naval ordinance
Posted by TOW gunner on Saturday, March 27, 2010 8:39 PM

A friend of mine is looking for a 5 inch/38 gun and mount like those mounted on Liberty ships.  Unfortunately he did not specify any scale, so I am casting a wide net (no pun intended) for any help with this.

Thanks, in advance for your help...

TOW - 21" of penetration out to 3750 meters

Admiralty lawyers deal with naval ordinanceSurprise   Naval guns are ordnance.Pirate   

HR Products has some weapons in various scales.   Their line is cast white metal; the molds are old so the parts tend to be a bit rough. 

The Scale Shipyard has some brass and cast resion items, mostly in 1:96 scale, and some are 1:48 scale.

The Floating Drydock and Loyalhanna Dockyard  also stock weapons in various scales.
