It looks like we will be making a trip to Barbados in a couple of months and am considering checking out the HARP gun there. Has anyone on here been there, seen it before? Would appreciate any recommendations - finding it a little difficult to find exactly how to get to it. Neil Last edited by Neil_Baumgardner on Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:46 am; edited 1 time in total

Not sure if you have map/coords already. On Flickr I've seen this picture. It's pretty recent and geo-tagged: www.flickr.com/photos/...372879189/ Massimo

Yep, question is exactly how to get there - from Long Beach in the west, or Foul Bay in the east. Plus there's a Barbados Defence Force small arms range to get past... If the red flag is up, you dont go past... Neil

You may create a free Flickr account and try to contact the guy who took the pictures. It's not that much time-consuming; it could be worth the efforts Massimo

Update - we leave at the end of the week for our Caribbean vacation and have a hiking trip reserved for the HARP gun. Will post pictures sometime after!

Here's the photos from our visit. smg.photobucket.com/al...ARP%20Gun/ I wasnt able to get any data off the HARP Gun breech - but the spare barrel is a Mk II Mod 1 SN 114. SN 111 is at the Washington Navy Yard, while 96 and 100 are at NSWC Dahlgren. Neil
