I think of The M38A1C as the recoilless rifle variant, but don't have any idea whether the CFR range fits. What ase the odds of field conversions or mixed production runs?

Hi Gerry, my name is Gilles and I am infected with the green disease. We all say that in therapy, but in the case of collecting and restoring it doesn't work. I am also ex-EME (W Tech L) and I collect the heavy post war trucks. Deuces M135,MLVWs(3) and m37 etc amd soon to come a wrecker 5 ton M816.
Welcome to the site, there is a lot of experience and wisdom here. As stated before check the list there is a MLU member near you. If you need help leave a message, even if we don't collect M38s I know people who have parts.

Hmmm...M816, eh? I had the pleasurable fun to drive an M818 (tractor only) about 6 months ago.

A local guy bought one in Texas and DROVE it back to Ontario!

Hi Grant,I found out the M38A1C designation from the M31A1 site,my serial# I found in the list of recoiless rifle jeeps on MLU forum,also I have ammo racks on the rear floor.All I know for certain is the Patent Plate# so I hope that I'm not out to lunch on the CFR.Cheers.Gerry
