Anyone have a general timeline for the 40mm Bofors that has what features came along when? i.e. The electric drive, Stiffkey sight, and splinter shield. From what I've found so far, I believe that they were fielded in approximately the order that I listed them, but need some confirmation.
Thanks in advance!

Is this the single barrel army version, or the twin and quad naval mounts?

You might try finding a copy of "The 40mm Bofors Gun" by Terry Gander.

Haven't see it myself, but it sounds like all your questions will be answered.

Library's are a good source.
