37mm anti tank gun- going prices?
What’s a non restored, 37mm anti-tank gun needing full
Restoration worth these days?
This one has a rusted beyond fixable barrel where the rifling has rusted away in one section.barrel junk. Never gonna be a shooter
The carriage is pretty intact. Welded up during its demill process.
Original breech ring. Most of the parts there from what I can see (only pic sent I haven’t seen in person)
Just a rough idea..I know it’s tough to give a price but let’s say a pure junk price up to a fully restored guns price. What’s the range?

What kind of 37mm? American m3? Swedish bofors?
There are few and that can change the price a lot. New barrels can be made in 37mm or a subcaliber like 20mm, 25mm, and maybe 30mm

I will say $12K for junker $25K restored.
If your gun doesn't leak oil, it's time for a bigger gun.

Re: 37mm anti tank gun- going prices?
Gunners are always looking for parts, if you do not rebuild just sell the parts, always a market for those. Breech ring itself is worth $2500 to $5000 depending on condition and parts that come with it, like block, extractors etc. Pics would be helpful. If you do not buy it I would be interested in it if it is close to Colorado. Good luck.

Is this one from a defunct VFW post? I see more and more of these items lately. Many are stolen government property so make sure TACOM does not want it back before you buy one.

Re: 37mm anti tank gun- going prices?
Good point. Many years ago I knew a guy who bought a pack 75MM from a VFW hall that was moving and wanted to get rid of the 'ornaments' out front as they didn't have room for it where they were going.
The guy was about 75% into the restoration when the Center for Military History called and asked when they could pick up their gun. I was a teen at the time and that was my first education on how the DoD appears to 'give' things to groups which were actually loans instead.

The ladies in the TACOM Sales and Donations office have no sense of humor. Another big problem is rifles they have loaned to VFWs; the guy who sighed the hand receipt dies and the rifles disappear.

Any parts for sale?
Parts is parts. I could use a gear box off of it. Without the Breech ring it is not even considered a gun, just parts. The Breech ring is the only registered part.
