[EODGUY]

My 40mm L70 collection.
The first photo shows:

Yugoslavian cutaway and complete M87 HE-T loading.
The second photo shows:
Belgian FN 128 PF/HE-PrF
Italian HE-T M2
Yugoslav M90 TP-T
Dutch NWM Break-up
The third photo shows:
German Break-up
Belgian FN128A1 PF/HE PrF. The nose fuze is not correct. Still looking for the right fuze for a good fit.

Thanks for posting yours Bob! I wish I had access to the proximity fuzes like you have on your copies.

Thanks guys for showing us the wide variety of 40mm L70 rounds manufactured. I've always thought they are the perfect size. Not too big and not too small, just right...

OK, HASAG, I'm jealous. Very nice grouping of L/70 rounds.

Hasag,

Thanks for the great photos! Do you have any data sheets on the different projectile types?

Dang Guys. Those are awesome L/70s! I think I'll keep the pics of mine to myself for now. :tinysmile_shutup_t2

I have been having a hard time trying to find reference material for the L/60and L/70 Borfors. I have had some luck with figuring out the differentprojectiles, but the country codes still elude me.

Anyone have the country codes?
