Dear all, please help me to identify the tool on the rear of turret of M109 A3 GE A2!
What is it for?


Any detailed photos and drawings will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Hi Yaroslav,
it`s a kind of chute to reload ammo to the rear of the M109 A3 GA2. You have to unfold the bipod and attach the chute to a device on the rear door. Make it easy to push the 155mm round into the M109 hull. Inside the hull round will be take from crane with grab and put into storage. A detailed walkaround can be found on Primeportal. You can take measurements from the pictures.
