Original Item. Only One Available. The Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/70, (Bofors 40 mm L/70, Bofors 40 mm/70, Bofors 40/70 and the like), is a multi-purpose autocannon developed by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors (today BAE Systems Bofors) during the second half of the 1940s as a modern replacement for their World War II-era Bofors 40 mm L/60 gun-design. It was initially intended as a dedicated anti-aircraft weapon, being sold as Bofors 40 mm Automatic A.A. Gun L/70, but has since its conception been redeveloped into a dedicated multi-purpose weapon capable of firing both sabot projectiles and programmable ammunition. Not Available for Export.

This is a great New/Old Stock example of a projectile body for use with the Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/70. This round is missing the payload which would be a pointed steel tip protruding from the yellow-painted end. In its current configuration, it measures 5 ⅝” long and retains markings:

40MML/70
HE-PFPXM822
TRE84M200-008

A great example, ready for display!
