Title: Who makes a 28mm Nordenfelt machine gun?
Post by: Diablo Jon on September 27, 2020, 08:11:07 AM

So I'm looking for a Nordenfelt machine gun in 28mm on a land carriage. A goggle search has found a couple on ship mounts (from Ironclad and HLBS) but If I can avoid converting by getting one already on a land carriage that would be nice.

Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated

Cheers Jon.

Thanks Didn't even think of Redoubt. Crew aren't really an issue as mine will end up crewed by North-Eastern Rhodesian Police askari

No real use to you, Jon, unless you can obtain one second-hand, but Copplestone used to do an RN mg that you could make up as either a Gardner or a three-barrel Nordenfelt (it had parts for both). Don't know why it was discontinued, it really was a lovely piece of kit.

Cheers for the steer. I think I've seen yours (pretty sure it was a LAF member if it wasn't you) online somewhere, masquerading as a Free State machine gun?, during a google search and it looked really good.

Perry do a Gardner gun with naval crew which does look similar to Nordenfelt

Oops! Sorry for the misinformation, there. That Gardner looks like a nice set.
