A total of 684 were built during the production run. In November 1955, the vehicle was finally type standardized as the 105-mm self-propelled howitzer M52.
The M52 was used by U.S. Army units throughout the mid and late 1950s. It was replaced by the 105-mm self-propelled M108 and 155-mm self-propelled howitzer M109.
It was also provided to a few NATO armies and to the Jordanian Army. The Jordanians used them against the Israelis in the 1967 Six Day War.

My Dad was a gunner on this M52 1961-1962
Wow, that's neat to hear. Hearing about veterans' experiences in the actual pieces I do a video of makes it worthwhile.
Can't say I've ever seen one of those! Pretty cool!
