At the begining of this topic it is said that the german modified the gun to use it as a AT gun. Does anyone knows what the modification(s) consist(s) in ?
Thanks
Hi Eax-E
I see no one has replied to your question. The conversion consisted of the chamber being rebored to take the Pak 40 ammunition, the Soviet sights replaced with standard German Pak sights, muzzle brake fitted and the elevating handwheel being moved from the right to the left hand side of the gun. The last modification was the most important in converting it from a field gun to an anti tank gun as it moved all the controls to the same side and were operated by one man, the gun layer.
