Karl_T Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Be kind to the FNG, first post on this board. I am the proud new owner of a GSH-23 parts kit from Bowman Arms. I am having no luck finding information on this weapon. Has anyone seen manuals for it? Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Are you talking about a 23mm, double barreled, Soviet made automatic cannon? If so, I would keep looking on eBay for a Soviet manual. I would imagine they are uncommon, as I've not seen one, though it's out of my area of interest.

Karl_T Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 yes, that is what I am after. Ebay is a good idea, I will put an email notice on a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APEXgunparts Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 At one time we had a very cool animation of the GSH-23 linked onto our web site.It was fascinating to watch!If I had the talent and time I would like to motorize the action and make it into a display (sans barrels) Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_T Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I would like to see that animation if you can find it. I've looked at your offer for GSH-23 many times. Need to add some big beltfeds to the collection. I found this book on line "SOVIET CANNON a comprehensive study of Soviet guns and ammunition in calibers 12.7mm to 57mm" by Christian Koll. It has five good pages on the GSH-23 including drawing of how the assembly goes together. The book is 683 pages with a discussion of every large soviet weapon and ammo. What my dream is a armorers manual for the GSH-23. Doubt I'll ever find it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougStump Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Anyone know of a source for 23x115mm rounds for this cannon (not HE of course). I would love to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_T Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Bob Bowman told me he has about 1K inert rounds. the projo needs to be pulled and then a bushing soldered in to hold a 50 BMG primer, then reload. I'm sure this will be the only game in town. I spent years looking for DShK ammo. Ended up buying rounds where the projo and power was pulled, or a primed empty case. My understanding, regulations prevent import of Russian large caliber ammo. Edited September 28, 2018 by Karl_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
