Hi Guys, does anybody know if the old Swiss ammo carts from WW1 and WW2 were ever used by the Russians, Germans, or Finnish military? Im thinking about restoring one to go with my anti tank gun to use as an ammunition caisson. In the manual, it shows a soviet cart but I dont have one of them and I know where a swiss cart is (at a decent price). Would you do it? what do you think? also. Im looking for a sight and some other minor parts for my gun if any of you have a sorce, Please let me know. This one was captured during the winter war by Finland and redone by them in 1942. Thanks!

I have been looking for a PP-1 sight for some time. None of my Russian or Polish contacts have been able to produce one. Do you need any armor piercing rounds? I have cases and projectiles available.

M8owner - you are looking for a PP-1 sight too late now . . . . . . :-)

Nice PAK. I would love to have one of those someday. It would be great to pull around behind my German motorcycle and sidecar.

THATS IT!!!, Thats the sight I need! well if you guys find 2 of them, ME and M8owner needs one. have any idea the cost? maybe I dont want one after all?! lol. At least I know what they are called now and what they look like. That helps!

M&, yes Im interested. I sent you a message..fyi.

Thanks for the other post and pictures guys, they are great. Keep them coming! The more info and history, the better. On the Swiss cart..the only ones realistically could have used the cart with the m1937 is probably the Swiss. I wonder if the Swiss ever had any soviet guns? My buddy says heck, no body will ever know they dont go together....Hey, I will!!

Another off the wall question on this gun. I know the NVA / VC used old soviet guns During the Vietnam war . Does anybody know if any M1937's (or later versions) were ever sent and / or used in Vietnam? I also have an 82-BM-37 (or 8.2 cm GrW 274/2(r)) 1942 82mm WW2 soviet mortar and I do know they (and chinese copies) were used in Vietnam. I was told thats where mine came from but who knows. Hey, Im looking for a sight for my mortar too if anybody knows where one is or atleast a pic and part #.

thanks!
