This 155mm M114 Howitzer Traversing Arc Seal Guard is an original new old stock (NOS) U.S. Army surplus component, precision-manufactured for the M114 towed howitzer. Cataloged under NSN 1025-00-619-3540 and Part Number 6193540, this part is designed to protect the traversing arc seal and associated gear mechanisms from dirt, moisture, and battlefield debris, helping maintain smooth operation of the gun’s lateral aiming system.
The M114 155mm howitzer was a mainstay of American field artillery from World War II through the Vietnam War and into the Cold War. Renowned for its durability and reliability, the M114 was deployed globally by the U.S. and allied forces. Seal guards like this one were critical to ensuring the mechanical components of the traversing system remained serviceable in the harshest combat conditions.
The M1 howitzer was introduced in the 1940s and served in U.S. artillery units for decades. It featured a split trail carriage and manual traversing and elevation systems, which required protection against environmental contamination to remain operational. The traversing arc seal guard played a vital role in shielding the traverse gear from wear, enabling consistent, accurate targeting, and longevity of the gun system.
This NOS Traversing Arc Seal Guard is a rare opportunity to obtain an original M114 howitzer part in excellent preserved condition. Perfect for restoration, educational display, or as a backup for functioning M114 platforms.
