- somewhere in the early years of MGC they also produced a Steel Grease gun , this must have been early sixties as it does not use caps etc but has a wind up mechanical mechanism ..it is also undersized quite a bit.
Id estimate its manufacture 1963-1966 .

- ... it has a large flat coiled spring inside... you wind up the charging handle and when you pull the trigger the bolt rocks backwards and forwards ..kind of like a toy but Not for kids.
its quite a bit smaller than the Hudson Steel one ( although you can`t tell so much here )
The magazine for the MGC is also very very narrow.
Excuse the state of the Hudson M3 but I need to find someone local who can re-parkerise steel.

- I found this video a little while ago not realising the M3 Grease Gun shown in the second part may well be a "silenced" version of this very early MGC model.
(First part of the video is a KSC M93R with Mg enhanced muzzle flash)
