Historical Significance:
The M1 57mm Anti-Tank Gun was a pivotal asset in the U.S. Army’s arsenal during World War II. Derived from the British 6-pounder, the M1 provided significant firepower against armored vehicles. The M2 Carriage, which supported the M1 gun, included essential components such as the trail caster assembly. This part facilitated easier maneuvering and stabilization of the gun, allowing for quick repositioning in the heat of battle and ensuring accurate targeting against enemy tanks and fortifications.
