Marc,
I don't think it would be a straight swap. The breech in the Firefly was turned 90o degrees to ease the loaders work. It opended horizontally. The breech on the 'Achilles' opened vertically.
Furthermore, the design of front turret was different, so the mounting would be different too.
But, not a lot will be visible through the hathches with a large breech in place. If you get the basics right, it might do the trick.
HTH, MartinD |
