M9 FLAMETHROWER WITH COMPLETE NEW CONDITION M27 SERVICE KIT.

M9 FLAMETHROWER WITH COMPLETE NEW CONDITION M27 SERVICE KIT. SN NSN. This Ag/Forestry flamethrower is a combination of the Vietnam era USGI M9 tank group and a WWII M2 wand, made from a reproduction casting of the front grips, a new barrel and a fully mission capable spray wand for the rear grip. The M9-7 units were developed in 1962 and had a 4 gallon capacity and used lighter weight materials. These units were very reliable, with high quality aircraft aluminum with epoxy coating internally. This example has a self-lighting propane torch for ignition, and has been completely inspected and tanks tested for leaks by flamethrower expert Charles Hobson, whose service report accompanies this lot. M27 service kit included in this lot is in its original crate, complete with label on lid listing the contents. Also included is a sealed plastic packet with Dept of Army catalog and technical manual dated Aug 1969. CONDITION: Excellent as refinished and reworked, with tanks repainted in USMC paint and seals tested. Valves and moving parts have been lubricated where appropriate. This information is all documented in the service report provide by Mr Hobson. Hoses are still soft, supple, and serviceable. Spherical receptacle is marked with tag indicating checked in Jan 2013. Tanks retain over 95% paint, in original canvas cover. Wand is also over 95% paint, with some minor loss of paint just at the fittings and a couple of scratches on the main body of the wand. With proper lubrication and storage, this unit should give many years of service. No doubt some collector/enthusiast is going to be very happy with this lot. 4-49262 JWK52 (7,500-12,500)
