Model 276 Gas Gun

[Chef]

Hello. I just purchased a Model 276 Smith and Wesson Gas Gun at auction and was trying to find any information available as well as parts. I know they will be scarce but I figure this is the place to look. Thanks in advance!

Picture of the one I recently acquired.

Are there any S&W gas gun collectors here? Anyone have any parts or paperwork to share or sell? Thanks!

Smith & Wesson owned a company in Ohio, Smith & Wesson Chemical Company, that produced 37mm tear gas and projectile launchers for a few years in a pistol style and a rifle stock model. There's some pretty good info on them through a Google search

37mm tear gas gun. They were built on N frame forgings so lock work parts shouldn't be an issue.
