 Thanks Mudchicken, Its kind of like a portable foundry. I was curious about how it was done, because I have a little project going where we are restoring a 1917 3inch field gun. When it was "decomissioned", the Army took a cutting torch and cut a line from the muzzle all the way through the breech. We are looking for ways to fill in the cut. It looks like the good old arc welder is going to be our best option. Thanks again for the info. Admiral [/quote] Funny you should mention that. One of the last jobs I had in the military was destroying 8 in. howitzers. Because they were capable of firing nuke's, we had to cut the barrels in half. We had to do this in a open field and let them sit for about a week so that the soviets could confirm they were destroyed. They were sent to Penn. to be made into railroad rails. (I guess the bottom fell out of the plow share market.) TIM A
