Own a stunning piece of post World War II aviation history with this fully restored WWII-era .50 Cal AN/M3 Aircraft-Mounted Machine Gun dummy display, built using a demilled WWII-era parts kit. Designed for authentic museum-quality presentation, this display gun supports belted inert ammunition, making it the perfect addition to any historical collection, military museum, or aviation exhibit.
This non-firing dummy gun is a genuine piece of post WWII-era/cold war-era aircraft armament.
Historical Significance
The .50 Cal AN/M3 (Aircraft Version of the M2 Browning) was a high-rate-of-fire, heavy machine gun designed for fighter planes, bombers, and gun turrets during World War II, Korea, and beyond. It was a lightweight, air-cooled adaptation of the legendary M2 Browning with a much faster fire rate, built for high-speed aerial combat.
The AN/M3 was mounted on iconic WWII aircraft such as:
- P-51 Mustang – America’s premier long-range escort fighter
- B-17 Flying Fortress & B-24 Liberator – Heavy bombers with multiple turret-mounted AN/M3s
- P-47 Thunderbolt & F4U Corsair – Fighter-bombers known for devastating ground attack capabilities
- A-26 Invader & B-25 Mitchell – Medium bombers used for precision air strikes
With an increased rate of fire (1,200+ RPM) over the standard M2, the AN/M3 was a devastating force in aerial dogfights and bomber defense, allowing American aircrews to dominate enemy skies throughout World War II and into the Cold War.
Key Features:
- Authentic post WWII-Era .50 Cal AN/M3 Machine Gun – Fully restored, non-firing dummy display
- Constructed from Original Demilled post WWII/cold war Parts Kit – Retains mainly authentic military components
- Designed for Belted Inert Ammunition – Supports realistic ordnance display
- Museum-Quality Restoration – Ideal for collectors, aviation museums, and military history exhibits
- Historical Aircraft Armament – Used on P-51 Mustangs, B-17 Flying Fortresses, and more
- Official U.S. Military NSN 1005-00-726-5650 – Genuine designation for the AN/M3 aircraft machine gun
- Mounted or Freestanding Display Options – Can be showcased on aircraft replicas or static exhibits
Why This Collectible Stands Out
This restored post WWII-era .50 Cal AN/M3 Aircraft-Mounted Machine Gun is a rare and historically significant artifact, bringing authentic World War II/cold war aviation firepower into your collection. The ability to display belted inert ammunition makes this an unmatched centerpiece for military history enthusiasts, aircraft restorers, and museums.
Unlike standard M2 machine guns, the AN/M3 was built exclusively for aircraft, making this dummy display model an exceptional aviation collectible.
