Fort Riley M4A3(75) Sherman photo
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Fort Riley M4A3(75) Sherman photo

Hello,

I'm looking for a good photo showing the Fort Riley's M4A3(75)w gun travel lock from very close distance (just like the 105mm gun travel lock shown here). Thanks for any help. The Fort Riley's is the only one I know that has the short gun travel lock variant in its WW2 configuration with the "2 fingers".

P-O

Hello,

I'm looking for a good photo showing the Fort Riley's M4A3(75)w gun travel lock from very close distance (just like the 105mm gun travel lock shown here). Thanks for any help. The Fort Riley's is the only one I know that has the short gun travel lock variant in its WW2 configuration with the "2 fingers".

P-O





Is that a MGMC M16 in the background? The gun mount looks funny, apart from the missing guns/ammo boxes. Were "batwings" used on any other variant?

It's an M16A1, converted from a run of the mill M3, hence the lack of folding upper parts with cutouts on the sides and rear and the higher mounted Maxson turret.
And yes, batwings were used on "normal" M16s.

But only after WW2.

I think that it is interesting that the Sherman has a piece of applique armor on the upper right-hand hull side. Theoretically, this didn’t happen, since the 47 degree hull-front M4s had the ammunition all moved out of the sponsons for Wet Stowage. (Based on the picture that Dan posted of the vehicle in Germany, it looks like the extra armor could be an ad-hoc sort of arrangement.)

Mark,
I imagine since they came from Germany, it is a combat veteran.

My guess is that the tank could have got a hit on the side (maybe a shell), and this appliqué armor would have been a repair, so that the tank could be put in service again.. there seems to be no other logical explanation to this.

In agree with panamadan, it is most probably a combat vet. Joe DeMarco noted that it didn't have any post-1945 upgrade (like the all-round vision cupola, the gun travel lock with 1-piece locking arm...)

I also agree that it's probably not applique armor but some sort of patch. Was this due to combat damage, or was this a range target that got a quick "GI repair" patch before going on display?

I am overdue to go back down to Ft. Riley for some photography.

If you go there, here are my requests regarding the M4A3(75)W :
read the last digit of the serial number on the rear tow lug (Joe D read a SN 4875, but it should be a 5-digit number, between 48750 and 48759)
a close-up showing how the "patch" armor plate is welded
a good photo of the gun travel lock, showing the "two fingers"
a photo showing the engine deck, especially the plate to the rear of the engine doors (is it a 1-piece or 2-pieces plate? How thick is it?)
a photo of the hull casting marking





(yes, this one is a photo taken by Paul and Loren Hannah)
