I am looking for scale drawings or photos of the M2 or M2A1 carriage that was used for the M1 40mm (Bofors) antiaircraft gun. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Hi Ken

What about these :

According to the caption, the carriage is "made in USA" but the wheels are british....

Hope this help ( even a little )

Thanks Frenchy, although I already found those shots, I do appreciate the effort. They are some of the best I've seen thus far.
Thanks again.
