It should be a standard M6 periscope, like all the M5 and M4 variants. Are you asking about a special gunners periscope or something? Like most things Sherman, the interior will vary based on upgrades, so a number like that will be tough to come up with.

Sherman (M4A4) Firefly Equipment Schedule lists:
  • 4 x M6 Periscopes fitted in periscope mounts
    5 x M6 Periscopes carried as spare
    12 x M6 Periscope Heads carried as spare

    1 x M4 Periscope with M38 Telescope in periscope mount
    1 x M4 Periscope with M38 Telescope carried as spare
Does this help you?

So far as finding all the bits - ebay has them all the time at varying prices and conditions.

hi, of course this is helpful, however, Tim, do you think m4a2 has the same amounts of all you listed?
