WTK Will M6 breech ring work on M3 37mm antitank gun? I already have a breech block for an M3 gun, just need the ring. Thanks for any info.

The M6 breech ring will screw onto the barrel. The M3 breech block and M6 breech block are a bit different too. The recoil mechanism is different as well. Not sure how it will function if you attempt to fire it.

I wouldn't bother with it. You can use an M-3 Ring with the M-6 mount in a tank, but its actually a useful idea there, because it allows you to manually operate the gun. It screws on and bolts to the recoil parts just fine. However, the M-6 relies on cams to make the parts cycle, and charging the gun would be a headache. Just keep looking for the M-3.
