DougStump Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Back in the 80's when the B-52G's still carried guns, I knew a guy that worked in the Fire Control shop. All of the M3's they had records for were WWII vintage M2 that had been upgraded, a large part were A.C. Spark Plug with some Frigidaire. A few had the original markings milled off the sideplate as part of the upgrade and were listed as "unknown". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanDavid Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 The British have purchased quantity's of M3M's , have seen photos of them mounted in helicopters. They certainly have an impressive rate of fire. Regards AlanDSydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3bobby Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes our Lynx carry the M3 .50 with the AC barrel. Some M3s were sold onto the surplus market a few years back and have ended up in M2QC and HB configurations. These are probably ex British sold off by a well know (I think now defunct) British engineering company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanDavid Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think you are referring to Manroy Engineering, which was sold by the original founders and I see is now owned by FN Herstal. I visited the factory over 20 years ago when I was based in New Zealand with a view to purchasing some full auto small arms. This was in the days when it was a lot easier to ship full auto guns around the world The owner Roy was very patriotic and had a flag pole outside the premises with the Union Flag flying and his Bentley Turbo parked there. I was given a tour of the factory including a cage with a collection of 50 plus different full auto guns, I wonder what became of them?In the end I only purchased a replica of the SA80 L85A1 rifle which was made of fiberglass and metal tubing. It was a non gun and was purchased by Cadet Units for drill, not being a gun it did not come with a bunch of regulations like a real gun. The point of balance in the drill gun was the same as the real thing. If you look at the photo on the cover of the book on the SA80 rifle, "The Last Enfield", the gun the cadet is using is actually a Manroy drill gun.
