After a long process that started in April of this year, my Guide Lamp M3 Grease Gun is finally home. What started out as a registered DEWAT is now a functional subgun again. I will be working to restore it to the original British specs (magazine release guard and finish) as this gun has British proof marks on it and has been painted black indicating that it was used by the Brits at some point in its life.

I remember ads in the early 60's for the dewatts of new M3's for $49.99, I wanted one really bad but Santa never came through. Congrats let us know how she shoots.

It shoots very well. My dealer was nice enough to allow me monthly visits with it.

Very cool! Be sure and keep us updated on your project, this should really be interesting. I got to shoot an M3 a few times, and enjoyed the old beast.
