[StartQuote] [StartQuote] Mike: I do not know what "Love" time means. If there is a Quartermaster here on the board they might know. Our stern mounted 37mm gun was a 2 man operated like the 40mm. I think they were a Army type field gun. All Ron 19 and Ron 20 boats were outfitted with this type gun. Ammunition was different for these guns than the 37mm aircraft recoilless type on the bow. Two or three years ago we had a lengthy discussion of these guns here on the message board.. C. J. Willis[EndQuote] I completely forgot about the 37mm Browning M1A2 guns. It's a very different design than the 40mm Bofors. I was hoping to find one in 1/35 scale but nobody that I can find has made one. If we could find some plans for this gun we could probably have somebody set them up for 3D printing. Thanks everyone for sharing this story. Great thread. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
