INERT DEACTIVATED. This is an original British 1978 dated 105mm (105x617R) APDS/T (Armour Piercing, Discarding Sabot/Trace) round for the British L7 105mm tank gun used on the British Centurion tank. This gun replaced the Centurions 84mm 20 pounder gun and has also been used in the German Leopard and early American M1 Abrams tanks. The APDS/T (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot/Trace) projectile consists of a tungsten core sheathed in steel, fitted inside a light alloy sabot or sheath. Upon firing, the sabot is discarded and the reduced calibre projectile carries on to the target. This projectile carries most of its original black paint and is stencilling. The sabot is stamped round the circumference APDS 105mm SX137GE 4/78 (April 1978) RLB (Royal Laboratories) SX620. The sabot is also stencilled in white round the circumference 105mm TK APDS SX389 GF T. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess inert ammunition in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2279
