 Subject:  Note the 76mm in the early turretList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 15, 2006

Hi Guys-
I am pretty sure that 75mm equiped Shermans did not have the gun travel lock on the hull front. The gun travel lock being present for the longer barrel of the 76mm. Also, that gun just appears to be longer than a 75mm.
Not trying to say that I am 100% certain of all this, just that the barrel does look longer and think the travel lock only used for the 76mm.
Go easy on me guys-
Geoff Steer
