I am looking for a 1/96 scale deck gun similar to those fitted on subs. I want mine for a Captain class frigate.  Any suppliers out there ??????

John Haynes does a couple of 3" guns - a 3"/50 and a HA. http://www.johnrhaynes.com/index.php

You could try HR Products.  They have all sorts of fittings in that scale but they are in the USA.

Here's a US supplier you might try:

  The Captains class frigates (DEs in USN Parlance) were fitted with American 3"/50s, so, as Paxton suggests, HR products are your best bet. You can order them through the Floating Drydock.

I wish not to hurt any manufacturer of our beloved shipbuilding parts. But if you are considering H-R Products fittings. Please PLEASE require a photo be sent of a current cast.

I did not do this and I was extremely disappointed in the extensive amount of fittings I purchased from them. You will note from their website, that most of the the fittings are depicted by drawings only. Buyer, please beware.

Marv Klotz has a 6 pounder on hand...
Perhaps you can negotiate a lend lease...

I can supply at 1/96 an RN sub. gun 3"/20cwt but is this what you need ? Can also supply the USN 3"/50 carried on the Captain class. Both great  castings by my w/m hand caster.
For those on-line I can send my catalogue of fittings now at JRH728 , by request . johnrhaynes.shipmodels@virgin.net
