Persian Gulf Command Posted October 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2020 Was it done in WW2 to match British 6 pdr casings with U.S. Ordnance 57mm projos or U.S. 57mm casings with British 6 pdr projos? The reason I ask is I have a 1943 U.S 57mm m86 APC round and need to know if I could mate" it with a British 6 pdr casing? Would this have been a reasonable combination seen during WW2?

917601 Posted October 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2020 From the experts “The UK projectile has the stamps on the projectile body. USA projectiles have the drive bands stamped with the type/year. Looks similar but not the same.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persian Gulf Command Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted October 19, 2020 Yes, thanks for confirming the different locations of the markings. What I still need to confirm or refute is if the British 6 pdr projectiles were ever placed in U.S. 57mm m26 casings or if US 57mm m86 projectiles were placed in British 6 pdr casings. That is during the 1940-45 period. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
