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?

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.

yes, that is what I am after. Ebay is a good idea, I will put an email notice on a search.

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)

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.

Anyone know of a source for 23x115mm rounds for this cannon (not HE of course). I would love to have one.

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.
