Just picked this up recently. 1964 dated M72 LAW 
Anyone know where I might find a 60's dated manual??? |

It's a one shot disposable tube. OP,,that's a harder one to find the M72,,good score!!! I have a later one M72 A1 I think mine is..
ETA dodger,they can be found in great condition,,used to be $25-35 all day long,then over a summer a few yrs back they jumped to $250 and up.

I used to have one of these (fired) hanging over my desk at the armory in Annapolis. Always regretted not taking it with me when I left, but back then I figured my life with military arms was over. (Shoulda known it never ends!)
Also, I left the service to become a high school teacher, and I don't think they would have appreciated that as classroom decor. Nice find, latewatch! |

I got one 20+ years ago for 20 bucks what are laws worth now? Like anything else it depends on which one you have. The M72A1's, A2's and A3's I've seen sell from between $50-$250 depending on condition and completeness. The M72A1's will sometimes bring a premium if they're 1960's dated. The M72's are much rarer and are considerably different from the later versions of the LAW and they command higher prices once again based on condition and completeness. The M72 was adopted in 1963 but, I'm not sure when exactly the change to the M72A1 was made but it was in the 60's. I found a picture of an M72A1 with a 1967 date so apparently theM72 was used for 4 years or less. |

Somebody had the 9mm sub-cal kits for those recently. That would be fun to play with. Would definately draw some looks on the range! Yes there is a military sub caliber device,(not sure it's 9mm,,I think it's .45 cal) ,BUT it does not work in the standard LAW tube,unless the one you're talking about is some kind of aftermarket one.There is a completely different "training LAW" that the device works with.I don't know the nomenclature for it,,,but the Man who runs our living history displays owns one,next time I'm at his shop,I'll try to remember to take pics |

Everytime my wife drags me to Michaels or Hobby Lobby I take a long hard look at the Estes rockets...  Do it! It is awesome! We used to make horizontally fired estes rockets... Took a while refine the balance, weight and stabilizing fins, but it was fun! (never got around to making a shaped charge though  )
