M3A1 Stuart Tank Firing Blanks

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
Here are a couple videos of me firing some blanks at the "Steam Up" in Brooks, Oregon today. One was after the National Anthem and the other was the start of the parade.
Enjoy,
Steve

M3A1 Stuart Blank Case

Hello,
The shell case is an original 37MM M16 shell casing that has been cut down to 4 inches tall. All the blank cases I have made up were 37MM cases that were made in lamps or damaged beyond repair. I made up a bushing to accept a 44 mag. shell case for the primer. I use 1/4 lb. of Pyrodex.

37MM Resizing Die

Hello,
For any of you interested here are a couple photos of the resizing die for the 37MM blank cases. A friend machined it for me several years ago. This is the first time I have had to use it.
