Only 24 were made. This one was manufactured in April of 1945. The museum brought this vehicle in from New York State. This gun could fire a 212 pound shell up to 12 1/2 miles. The gun shared its carriage with the 155 millimeter Howitzer, and the different guns could be interchanged on the same carriage comparatively easily. The M43 has a Wright 9-cylinder radial air-cooled gasoline engine, 350 hp. Weight 40 tons. Only two are in existence today, one at the Fort Sill Artillery Museum and one located here.
