That's hilarious Mick, I wonder what the breech pressure was on your Howitzer.....

That was my first exposure to a stuck pullthrough...we had lots of reservists to give lots of bad info to recruits when I started. So when I got my pal's pullthrough stuck in the barrel, I immediately took it to my section commander. Since we were in the field, he managed to hammer a blank in after it and fired it out...towards the front of the defensive position. He was a full Sargent... Rifle survived,
I wonder how the C1 headspaced after spitting out a pull through Jim, size up locking shoulder perhaps!
