Production
The gun was produced at the Plant no. 8 (named after Kalinin), where it received index 1-K. The production rate was slow as manufacturing process included handicraft operations. In 1931 the plant built 255 pieces, but none passed quality control. In 1932 404 pieces were accepted (and in 1933 105 more followed, still from the 1932 bunch), but then the production was stopped due to adoption of more powerful 45-mm anti-tank gun M1932 (19-K).
1-K was also a base for the 37-mm tank gun B-3 (5-K), the main armament of the BT-2 light tank.
