20MM OERLIKON parts

[Owen]

Not going to help much.. But there are lots of displays looking for those. Can you show how they are broken??

They are broken off where they mount to the receiver.

Rusted or sheared off? I would imagine a machine shop could weld, sand the weld down and re-paint it for you.

Thanks, but not if the old piece is gone.

They are broken off where the rest mounts to the receiver. Old part long since gone.

So is this gun to be fireable or just display? And a photo will still help there area couple different version. And it would be cool to see..

It will be modified to work off oxygen and propane, like a movie gun.

Thanks G RAT. I looked at what was listed on the Numrich site and didn't see shoulder rests. I sent them an email but have yet to receive a response. Do you have the name of someone I could ask for?

I don't unfortunately. They have literally everything so I hope they can help. I got some contacts I will ask.

OK, fellas still looking for shoulder rests for a 20mm Oerlikon. Come on, there have to be some somewhere. HELP!

Find a display model in your state [navy display ] ask to take detailed pictures and then a welding shop to fabricate . A+E [weapons masters] got an old one and brought it back to firing condition [not max cycle rate] and they got parts from a guy on the west coast i think ,try to find the episode on tv some how ....that is all i got

Here’s the 255-page manual. The shoulder rests section starts around page 96.
I didn’t read the whole thing, but there are some close-up diagrams. Might be helpful to make a “close enough” approximation for your already reimagined build.
