Nothing?, I think I saw some video of a T34 on Beltring using shells. The tank is so common so empty shells that you can load on your own should be easy to find one can think. No ideas?

They are very hard to find here in the UK.
Cheers, Ade.

Hm, too bad :/
The firingsystem we have now is really clumsy so some shells would be nice.

If you look hard enough and have a large cheque book you can normally find 1 or 2 shells at the War & Peace show.
I have over the last couple of years managed to purchase 2 fine examples of shells for my T34/85, and last year i found a stall that had 3 shells for sale. Some were more damaged than others but would all look good in or on a T34/85.

How big of a checkbook? We need them to fire the gun on our public shows so about 3 or 4 shells should do it.
And soon we will begin some maintenance and repairs of the tank, il keep you posted.

If you plan to use the shells for blank firing then i would recomend you get some one to make you some new brass cases to the corect size of the originals.
This is because some of the original shells that have been deactivated, have to have holes drilled in them etc in order to meet the new deactivated regulations.
You might be lucky and find an older deactivated shell (like my ones) that have not been messed about. But either way judging on last years prices its going to cost about £150.00 each.
