WTS: Large 25mm Puteaux package $25k

Post by MGKMartin » Wed Feb 19, 2014 6:13 pm

I have decided it is time to sell my 25mm Puteaux to fund another project. I planned to restore this cannon for our own use and assembled everything I thought I would need to keep it running for MANY years including a complete second barrel, breech, fire control, etc so I could easily switch between a permanent 25mm Bushmaster setup and a 25mm Hotchkiss setup. With the second breech block and fire control, you are set if anything ever happens to the originals. The package includes:

Complete 25mm Puteaux with carriage, welded breech, and barrel filled with plaster. Very easy restoration. Needs new tires and paint.
Spare uncut breech attached to a barrel with a 1" hole drilled in it. I planned to use this with 25mm Bushmaster, but could be used with the .50 insert or sleeved to 20mm Vulcan.
Complete spare head assembly with T&E, scope mount, pintle, and front half moon armor.
Complete spare fire control including uncut breech block
.50 BMG barrel insert
Original flash hider
reloading dies and tools for 25mm Hotchkiss
101 25mm Bushmaster projectiles
25 custom solid brass projectiles
9 original projectiles including a rare fused HE projectile (no explosives)
10 original live rounds including 8 in a sealed tin
spare ammo tin with paper sleeves
11 reloadable brass cases
4 bad cases
4 flash tubes
20 primer assemblies
primer tools
100 .50 primers
can of cannon powder

Big Bore LLC makes the dies. ira6115@msn.com
If your gun doesn't leak oil, it's time for a bigger gun.
