Another nice find! It’s from a FN120 tail turret with the servo (ammunition) feed control valve on the front. The FN121 used an electric servo feed motor.
I’ll try to get those dims for you.
Looks great!
The holes that Walter mentioned….


Mike, I’ve got a fair bit of reference material on the .303 Browning which I’ll be happy to share with you if you can let me have your e-mail address.
And yes, as you remarked earlier on, the barrel casing is tapered, something which is neglected in quite a few replicas, for ease of manufacture no doubt. Also, Turretboy’s drawing (hi Mike) shows the gun in its Mk I version with the early flash eliminator, I believe the Mk II version with the revised muzzle brake and flash eliminator is somewhat shorter overall. Attaching one of the many photos I took of a .303 years ago at the Brussels Army Museum, as a teaser π .[ATTACH=CONFIG]227671[/ATTACH]
Hi Walter! π
Here’s the source drawing for the gun plan & elevation I posted earlier.
I’m sorry for the quality.

Hi Mike,
I found this one in my files.

I updated the link to original file option.

Regards,
Nice work on the models.
The front mounting bolt is used in FN turret mounts.

Nice find!! π
I was thinking the same…no worries about rubber seals and leaks, etc.
My last WIP video is here
Excellent work James!
Nice finds!

It’s easier to locate an entire turret than to search for the parts.
Finally, turretboy, Laurent confirms that the part you questioned is βun rivet en inoxβ, a steel rivet.
I’m still convinced that it’s the back of a snap fastener.
(Bottom right)
Still poking along….
