Hi, Anyone wishing to part with an original 37mm atg canvas breech cover or knows who makes a good repro. I would be grateful if you would let me know.
Thanks

I have owned a 37mm since 1991. I have never seen or heard of one or a repro.

We have one that WeBewebbing made for our M3 37mm AT Gun and Dave P. did a Great job on it ! The cover goes from the muzzle over the shield and also covers the breech with about 4 cross straps. He custom makes each one and I think ours took about 6 month's but its a work of art ! Don Shaffer NE Ohio

Hello Don,

I do not think I have seen you since the last Tiffen, OH cannon and MG shoot in 1999? . How are you doing? It is my understanding you are no longer a 2 pdr ATG owner?

Hi Steve I saw you at Brent Mullins open House 2 years ago ! We had a Great time at Brents Museum and Flea Market. My British 2 Pounder is now in the Reed Knight Museum, to bad that its not open to the public. Reed bought all of Henry Venetta's collection and moved it to FLA. We had fun shooting your M3 37mm Gun at the Tiffin MG shoot ! Do you think that you will make it up to Findlay this year ? Its Ohio.s Largest !!! Military Vehicle Show and Flea market .

Phil,

Looks like you might try WeeBee webbing out at http://www.odcloth.com/qa1.html and see if they can help you out.

Also Don I'm in Canton Ohio and looking for some shows or groups to get more active with MV collecting. Actually into the 37MM anti tank looking to pick one up and if there is anything best practices or "stay away from" would appreciate hearing it.

Thanks
Barry
