Thanks Dan!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 5:35 pmHi Barry . It’s a 3inch 50caliber anti aircraft naval gun made in 1942 . The park was rededicated around 2007 . The bricks around the base are engraved with men from my home town who served all the way back to the 1840’s Indian Civil War . Whistler is actually buried at the memorial who gave his life in WW1 . Going to our cemetery on Memorial Day is very humbling seeing a sea of flags waving in the wind . Amazing some men I knew all my life served courageously and never knew it . One was a Merrill Marauder another survived the Bataan March in WW2 . Just my way of saying thank you .Danbearrowland wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 4:18 pmNice pic buddy! What's the history of the artillery piece?

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I had a chance to think it over. My Dad was a gunner's mate on a liberty ship in WW2. His gun was the 3" 50. That's a beautiful park buddy! I bet the kids love that gun.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
The ATR is indeed also an underrated design. I have the stainless one. And i remember Sal saying it was his answer to the Sebenza. And i get why it really is amazing. And the cobra hood is just so nice.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 2:27 pmI agree, that and the ATR2 are both big favorites of mine . Dan

My son is home, so I may see if I can carry his Manix for awhile. I love how they feel in the hand.
