Make sure to write "Fury" on the barrel so it's the Tiger killer variant.

Join "Maple leaf up". Very nice site for what you are about to take on.
The city of Cloverdale (BC) had one in front of the museum/rec Center that sat there for years. It was in very good condition. They did a Reno a few years ago and it disappeared. May want to contact Cloverdale and see where it went. It was part of a WW2 monument
If I remember right... that gun barrel has a muzzle brake on it, so it's probably a high velocity tube. I couldn't tell you if it's a 17 pdr tube, tho...
The last I saw of it, the gun & mantlet was separated from the turret, and sitting a few feet in front of it.
Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, I suspect it's off an E8...

I'm not predjudiced: I hate ALL social-engineering d**kheads equally...
Thanks for all the input, I have had some interesting leads surface. This is a daunting project, now it is decision time!
Start searching the main British military collectors. I have been watching a series on YouTube that follows one of the major players/collectors and he has massive amounts of stuff. If the one you are buying has the diesel twin packs I’ve had the engines out of two Sherman’s for repair and tuneup and clutch replacement. I have a copy of the CDN operators manual if you would like one—Dieseldog!
Don't know if they can help, but The Ontario Regimental Museum has a couple M4's and the resources to rebuild them. They're on Stevenson Rd. Oshawa Ontario. They run them around on Tank Saturday shows.
