Is there any Type 59 or 59-1 130mm gun walkarounds out there. I've found a few pictures on Flikr but that's all I can find...

I found one using "type 59 130mm walkaround" as my search text.

Thanks Kurt - any chance of a link to what you're finding as I'm still not getting any hits? Thanks.

Don't use the quotation marks.

This is number 2 on the list. This thread is number 1.

FYI, this is an M-46, which quite different from a Type 59-1, but I suspect it may be close to a Type 59 as well. The problem is that photographs of true Type 59s are rare. (Most caption writers/photographers don't know W T F they're talking about.) It is worth noting that the M-46 has a horizontal-opening breechblock while the Type 59-1 is vertical opening. The Type 59 - ???
