Russ, I have several 105 gun tubes. If you need one, PM me.

Nothing is impossible as long as somebody else has to do it.

Gino, you are correct, I may have to do a little re-thinking here. Maybe another kit needs to be cracked open......

This should be fun to watch. I have a similar box of Patton parts that I plan on turning into a Magach 3 at some point as well. One thing though. I believe all Magach 3s had the 105mm L7 barrel. This was one of the standard Magach 3 upgrades. The 90mm barrels were only left on Magach 2s, which were straight M48A2/A3s with M1 cupola and 90mm guns.

Magach 3: Modernized M48A1/A2C/A3. The modifications included British 105 mm L7 cannon, low profile commander's cupola, upgraded communication suite, a 750 hp diesel engine Continental AVDS-1790-2A with Allison CD-850-6 transmission

Another junk box special, end result to be a straight-up M48A2C in IDF sand, Six Day War period, probably with a Sherman cupola and the 90mm gun. Raw materials:
