I am working on a Trumpeter kit of the A-10. The gun block in the kit is hollow and open at the rear. Can this be accurate? Does anyone know where I can get photos of the rear of the gun, or drawings of the gun?

Yeah I believe that you can actually find some good pictures of the high drive and the drum right here on the WT ifin you go through the pictures section.

By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson

Actuallly, I'm in pretty good shape on the drum. I need to know more about the backside of the gun itself. I had seen a discussion topic where some guys were talking about having looked at a diagram of the firing pin mecanism. If I can relocate that topic, then maybe I can get a lead on some diagrams or drawings.

Ah, yes. I did a little bit on the gun i nphase before leaving Spang. I should have got some pics of the show gun in the shop, though. Those might be more helpful.
