Having recently heard the Royal British Ordnance 25 Pounder QF Field Gun is being withdrawn from service in the next few years i was thinking why not put it out to tender and have them re conditioned,, Anybody who has ever seen the 25 Pounder looks at it and says look at the state of it,,,newslfash its' *ucking paint!!!! For years the guns have been painted over paint peeling away,, granted i realise some parts of the weapons are showing stress point and the toe eye in particular are giving trouble but these weapons are top for gunnery training.
I feel that its a waste to get rid of them. Ya there over 60 years old but only have 10% of the barrel life fired,, The PDF train on the weapon as much and more than the RDF even. Its a great gunnery training weapon. Ya the 105mm is modern and guchi but hey if it works and works well why not save the ld girls,,, you take 36 (ref: an cosantoir 06)we have away and were all fighting for the 105mm or the 120mms
Anybody feel the same??? Is it even possible to have them reconditioned
