M3 Greaser

[oldpaul]

M3/M3A1s were issued to tank crews in the 60's and perhaps later and I trained with them in 1968 at the Fort Knox Armor school. There were specific weapon designed racks on the inside of the turret of the M-48 Tank to mount these. The rear sight was just a bent tab with a hole in it, spot welded to the receiver. Even with this crude, non-adjustable peep sight I remember them being reasonably accurate. Tom

racks on the inside of the turret of the M-48 Tank

I remember climbing inside an M60 or an A1 in Ft Lewis at one point, there was still a marked rack for the M3 SMG there as well. That was maybe 1975 or '76?
