Gday lads
Need a suitable casting number for the turret side of my M4a1(76) which is progressing quite nicely... {IIDSSM...}
It would be for the earliest T23 turret with the split hatch for the loader... Have seen some good pics and a bit of a discussion here on the 'A', but can't seem to find them
Any help appreciated...
Cheers
Brad
P.S. If the DML kit turret doesn't have one in reality, then that's fine too!

These T-23 turrets only have casting numbers on the roof, but they show some nice casting and machining marks. There's also another (and different) explanation for the ring in front of the loader's hatch from last week's discussion.

Some great pics here David!
Thanks for the link...
The turret in this kit is the last in those series of pics... Foundry marks match
Cheers
