Nobles Gun Charger Slide Assembly P/N 11368, FSN 1005-512-0610
The Nobles Gun Charger Slide Assembly P/N 11368, FSN 1005-512-0610 is a U.S. military armament component manufactured by Nobles Engineering & Manufacturing Co. under Air Force contract AF 09(603)-33657.
This slide assembly formed part of a gun-charger mechanism used to place an associated automatic gun in a charged condition. It is an individual charger component, not a complete gun charger or automatic gun.
Historical Significance
The Nobles Gun Charger Slide Assembly reflects late-1950s U.S. Air Force armament supply and maintenance. Its period package preserves the contractor, stock number, part number, contract, quantity, and date-related markings used to identify this specialized component in military logistics.
