Hello everyone, I am looking for some 40mm Bofors casings, and seem to be having issues finding any. These are for the L/60 gun (40×311mmR) which are the most common ones. I need steel or brass casings, no projectiles as I am making my own. I need about 40 total for a battle reenactment coming up, I have 8 so far.

Let me know what you have laying around please!!

Bob,

These are probably going to be HTF. THe C-130 gunships use a 40mm Bofors and last time I talked to one of the crewmen, they had gone through the old stores of ammunition and had actually contracted for new manufacture (YMMV). You might check the govt. auction sites, as I know they are selling other empty cases (including 40mm grenade) as salvage. That's the word from this side of NM (Clovis).

I believe most of the military auctions require the "mutilation" of any empty cases or shells before you can take possesion of them. At least that is what I have been seeing mentioned in some of these auctions.
