M3 37mm leather sight case dimensions?

Post by Andy Cole » Thu Jun 03, 2021 7:59 am

Would one of you happen to have one of the leather sight cases that attaches to the back of the shield on the M3 Anti Tank Gun?

I would like to try my hand at reproducing one for my gun.

measurements and photos of seams and construction would be awesome!

IF anyone can help I'd be appreciative!

Andy:
If I wasn't stuck at work I would help you right out. You could even borrow mine if needed to make a copy or a few if desired.
So failing to get any response, let me try to remember to get back to you after work today.

AWESOME!

Since my gun is scratch built, from the ground up, I figure why not scratch make a sight case.
Any dimensions or detailed photographs would be greatly appreciated.

When convenient you can email them to:
