Title: Have the wheels fallen off? (Russian 76.2 M1927 Infantry gun)
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 16 January 2014, 06:28:27 AM
Hello All

Tip-tapping away on my new tablet so forgive any comical typos  :).

I was wondering if the wheels on the 76.2 M1927 Infantry gun were separate so that an earlier version of the gun with spoked wheels could be made?

Hi

I realise that the Mongols are really important right now (incidentally when are the Mongols armed with bolt action rifles coming out for the BoB/Pulp players  :D :D)

but does anybody know if the 76.2 M1927 Infantry gun comes with separate wheels?

Sorry for the delay replying, the wheels on that one are cast onto the gun I believe, but I'll check with Dave and confirm.  It still shouldn't be too difficult to swop them for some spoked ones and offer them up as a separate code.

Hi Leon

Thanks for the reply. Please forgive me but it is really hot and steamy here at the moment and I'm not just Grumpy and Old, but HOT!, Grumpy and Old which as many shop assistants will tell you is not a desirable combination.

There's another cunning plan gone out the window in regard to the infantry gun.

Cheers
