INERT DEACTIVATED. Very Rare, British, 1942 Dated, HS 804, 30mm (30x170) EXPERIMENTAL Aircraft Cannon Cartridge Case. - O 2186 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an extremely rare British WW2, 1842 dated fired case from the trials of an experimental gun produced by British Manufacture and Research Co Ltd based at Grantham (BMARC). The gun was proposed by the company in late 1941 based on the 20mm HS404 Hispano cannon for anti tank and anti submarine use. there was no requirement for the gun so the company went ahead with the experimental gun as a private venture. The company were unable to manufacture its own ammunition and a request for the Ordnance factories to manufacture it was refused by the controller of Research and Production of MAP. For an unknown reason, the Minister overruled the decision and a small quantity of ammunition was made by the Royal Laboratories in 1942. The gun proved most unsuccessful in its development and the trials were abandoned in1945 at the end of the war. Nothing was heard of this cartridge case (30x170) until the 1980s when the Royal Small Arms Factory adopted the cartridge case dimensions for their successful 30mm Rarden cannon used in British armoured vehicles. This is a fired brass cartridge case from the first lot produced for the trials with the gun in 1942. The cartridge case is headstamped 30MM LOT1 a crowfoot G777 1942 (date) RLB (Royal Laboratories). The cartridge case is screwed for a percussion primer and has 4 stab crimps round the case mouth.
