Original WWII-production M3 heavy machine gun tripod manufactured 1943–1945, used extensively by U.S. forces in the ETO (European Theater of Operations). These tripods were recovered/post-war released from European government arsenals and legally imported to the U.S.

Key Features & Condition:

100% original WW2 U.S.G.I. M3 tripod – no reproductions or postwar welds
Designed specifically for the M2HB .50 BMG “Ma Deuce” Browning (also accepts M2 water-cooled with adapter)
All leg locks operational
Legs extend and lock positively; original bronze bushings intact
Weight: approx. 44 lbs
Height adjustable from ~18″ to ~36″ (ground to pintle center)

Markings: Vary by manufacturer (Rock Island Arsenal, A.G. Spivey, Saginaw Steering Gear, etc.) and acceptance stamps. Expect typical WW2 ordnance bombs, inspector marks, and occasional unit or rack numbers.Cosmetic Condition: Good to very good field-used condition. Expect honest wartime wear: paint ranging from 30–85%, surface rust/patina in places, possible small dings or weld repairs from period arsenal refurbishment, but no structural damage or missing parts. These are battlefield veterans — each one is unique.

Sold in exact “as-imported” condition. No warranty, no returns.

A true piece of WWII history that still saw Normandy, the Bulge, and the drive into Germany. Quantities limited — once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
