WTB Inert M72 LAW
 

As the title states, I'm on the search for an inert M72 Light Anti-tank Weapon, preferably Canadian Pattern with end caps.

Thanks!

Rich

Got one I'll let go. Complete, includes manual.

Going to Hammond in June? If so, I'll bring it.

Lemme dig in to my records to see about establishing price.

well, jon, like other collectors, i, for sure need serious help too......you wouldn't have a spare copy of said manual lying around up there?? :D

I wish I could make it to Hammond, but I'm still stuck in Gagetown. My Dad might be present however, I'll link up with him and see if he can be my mule.

Let me know of the price and if pics are available.

Well, better a mule than an ass.. I will be at the BBB. Young Law will also be looking for the bracket.

A LAW for a Law...oh the poetic drama!

Law fils, will you let me out of the inclusive offer of the manual so I can send it to Mike?

I paid $135.00 CAD in 1994. Make me an offer above that price.

Pic to follow, although not really necessary. Believe me, this is a minty M72A2.

Noting Skag's price-
 

...we used to just throw them away...

Charlie:

I know, I know, but the fact that they were just thrown away makes them
scarcer for a collector, no?

For the edumification of the rest of us, What would the Canadian pattern entail? And if it was a specific Canadian version, wouldn't the nomenclature become something along the lines of M72C1?

Tony:

It's an M72A2, as described on the body.

The cover of the manual claims to describe the M72A1, M72A2 and M72, however, inside the pam, it describes only differences between the M72A1 and M72C7. These differences mostly relate to front and rear sight assemblies.

This unit is unique in that it has an inert rocket inside the tube.

hi jon

that is very unique. the one i have is from the 70's, and in really good shape, but not mint. if you go to the collectors source website you'll probably have a stroke when you see what they are going for today...sans inert rocket!! btw, thank you for consideration on the pam

cheers!!

PM sent, the manual will not be needed but the offer was appreciated. Better that it goes to someone who's looking for it!

They don't let French men have the LAWs..Too many blowing their shoulders off trying to fire them like a rifle...
They take "Shoulder fired" literally..
LOL...
Good thing Quebecer's aren't French men...They are Canadians..weather the want to be or not..
