Mountain Gun

T32 gun on T9 tripod.

In WWII US Army Mountain Troops in Italy used this cut down version of the 37mm anti-tank gun.

It was mounted on a .50 caliber machine gun mount.

Roco makes the 37mm ATG and a 50 caliber machine gun mount.

I rummaged around my spares and found a small mounting, cut down a damaged Roco 37mm gun barrel and a new model was born.

The mount was a bit narrow so I cut and then filed the inside between the horns to make space for the gun.

Besides cutting down the barrel length, I also thinned out the side of the barrel where it fit into the mount.

It looks pretty good next to daddy.

It is part of my project to use up the scraps, bits, and crumbs in the collection, repair the damaged, and clean up the clutter.
