Hello all - I've seen a number of these artillery pieces displayed at VFWs & American Legions around South Carolina. What is this? Thanks Gents!

Hi Folks! Correct on the gun barrel size, I think the M number for those is M1. Spot Report! Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.

Has anyone ever seen a 90mm M2? I know of 1 M2 at Lawrenceville, GA a couple of M3's at China Lake, Fort Monroe and ane on Shemya I think the M2's are very rare for some reason M1's are fairly common

Hi AJ2! Hi Folks!

- armyjunk2

Has anyone ever seen a 90mm M2? I know of 1 M2 at Lawrenceville, GA

M1's are fairly common

There is one M2 90mm (mins wheel units) out in front of the Ft Bliss Museum.
There was one complete and restored M2 that was shipped to Ft. Still.

The New Mexico National Guard has a history of Air Defense Artillery. I know of two M1 90mms in that state.

Sgt, Scouts Out!
