**U.S. MACHINE CORPS M3 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN WITH BRASS SUB CALIBER INSERTS (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE).

SN 11706. Cal. 37mm. 82″ bbl. This U.S. M3 anti-tank gun is registered in both 37mm and 20mm cals and is dated 1942 with inspector initial “J.S.C.”. Nine brass sub cal inserts are included with this lot. Locking pins for pivoting trailing legs not present, nor is the sighting apparatus. Traverse mechanism allows it to move a very small amount and appears to be stuck due to repaint. Elevation mechanism moves slightly but also appears fouled due to recent repaint. Breech block raises and lowers smoothly and road wheels turn freely. One able bodied man was able to roll this gun up a ramp into a trailer for transport. This gun appears as though it would function. Orig firing lanyard included. This is a National Firearms Act Item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This item is fully transferable on a Form 3 or Form 4 as a destructive device. PROVENANCE: From the estate collection of noted discerning firearms enthusiast, Donald W. Dix, Jr. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish extremely fine to near excellent with green olive drab paint on appropriate metal parts with exception of breech block assembly which is a dull blued steel starting to turn a brown patina. Left rubber tire is in extremely fine condition with very little wear. Right rubber tire is in good serviceable condition with some wear. Bore has strong rifling with uniform brown corrosion throughout. This would make a very fine display piece and also double as a fun recreational shooter at the range. 51794-23 JWK141 (10,000-20,000) C&R – Lot 1715
