Looking for a model of the M107 SP gun. Served in Germany on these in 70s-80s. Italeri used to do one,but not any more. Any help would be gratefull. From an ex gunner.

The best advice I can give is to find the M110A2 kit, which are still relatively easy to find. Then you can either turn your own barrel, with measurements I'll be happy to provide for you, taken with digital calipers, so you know you're getting the same as the kit barrel, OR,
using those same measurements, I can cut you one on the lathe tomorrow. The only hitch is that the aluminum rod is not cheap. (I've been manufacturing my own parts for my bike, so I'm routinely buying aluminum and stainless)

ETA: Short of actually finding the M107 on Ebay, another option just occurred to me:
If anyone volunteers to do the work, I'll send them my barrel which they can make a mold from and cast. Then there'd be a permanent fix for anyone looking for the kit. I no longer have the time for casting, sooo...Any voluneers?

There have been 3 in the past two weeks on ebay US. They were all around $36 plus shipping.

Ebay will be your best bet

Rounds Complete!!

Shoot, saw one at a vendors table at a recent show and was thinking I should pick it up as I know it's getting hard to find. Just shows that you should listen to your inner voice

I know that feeling. Seems that Verlinden made a resin tube for the 175mm gun, but it's been twenty years since I recall seeing one advertised. Not to dash your hopes!!

BTW, if you post this in the Vietnam section, you might get a few more hits. Although this was a US weapon that was exported, it saw a lot of in-country use in VN with US forces, both Army and Marine, along with the 8" howitzer on the same chassis.

Thanks for the reply, will carry on searching.

Not used to the site yet as new on here, how do i go about putting it on the vietnam site??.

Thanks for this,have just checked,typical nothing there but will be checking again regularly.

Sorry Don, although I can give great advice, I can't tell you how to post in another forum. Maybe another well-wisher can help??

Don, I have sent a message to the Armour mediator, asking for assistance with the request. Stay tuned!

Thanks Jim much appreciated.

Hello Don

I have an Italeri M107 with a turned aluminium barrel thats been sat on my shelf for years, if you are still looking for one let me know and we can work something out.
