WTS: 1937 dated Model 1932 Soviet 45mm ATG - subcaled to 50bmg
Easy resto with Form 1 back to 45mm
Gun was captured during the Winter War of 1939/1940 and used against the Soviets by both the Finns and their German Allies. Even has some MG pot marks in the shield. A true collector piece that can be made to shoot again. The breech looks to have been lightly cut at one point with a short 2" weld from top down that can be barely seen on the left side. The other side looks untouched.
Beautiful gun, currently in .50 BMG with insert tack welded into place. Machinist welded the subcal insert into place did it in a way that would make it easy to restore to 45mm. Chamber is beautiful and rifling looks like it was barely used. Comes with 1939 dated Soviet made Finn captured correct sight for the ATG. Also included in the sale are 1 HE projectile (inert), 1 complete HE round, Finn manual, sight box, original firing lanyard, set of tools and a few other pieces I can't recal right now.
Also comes with two custom brass casings for firing 40mm sleeved to 45mm rounds. Gun comes with approx. 2500 to 3000 40mm projectiles sleeving and firing.
