M9 vs M9A1 Bazooka Differences

Post by dantheman » Tue Aug 16, 2022 6:13 pm

A recent acquisition has made me curious, and I have started researching but can’t seem to locate the exact answer I’m after. Does anyone have a TM on the M9/M9A1 bazooka, or know the TM number/version that predates the 1946 version of TM-9-294, that would explain the physical differences in the two? I’m a visual learner and would love to see photos. The 1946 version is all I’ve been able to locate and it doesn’t really show the differences other than certain part numbers that aren’t compatible. It also contains information on the M18 which I’m not concerned with.

I understand the primary differences are in the locking ring and locking screw/lever mechanisms. Aside from that I also understand the different sights, i.e. bar sight vs optical sight. Just wondering if someone had pictures that show what differences are. Thanks!
