Im looking for rubber track pads for the M113 FMV. Anyone have any resources for locating some? Thanks

Fun project. Good luck.

Ill probably just bring my M151a1.

That AH1 Cobra is way cooler.

I'll come.

video Pilot survives fiery fighter jet crash in Alberta I find irony in the song.

Halftracks are great vehicles. I have a friend that just bought an M4a1, it fits in his garage, aftere he had to punch a hole in the wall!! Anyways, good luck. Id love to own one some day.

I have a friend that did this: -Drill stem welded to metal plate for base -The top of the stem was a fabbed up T section that had vertical posts on each end. -The top of the ends of the T, he welded in pintle sockets. -He can either then run 2 M142 cradles for both 60s or use 2 UPA/.30...

And the breech mechanism shows up on subguns every now and then for $30K+. So for roughly $85,200, one can have a registered DD 105 howitzer.

That's a bummer.

There are M60 parts kits, but they're typically in the $3k+ range.

It is when it's on the govts dime. LOL Was a cool truck to see.

That's about typical for the cradle. Some pop up on ebay or the sturmgewehr/sub guns boards every now and then for cheaper. I dont know what the pedestal mount assembly like the one in your pic runs for. Probably $300 or so for a reproduction. Another option is buying a Universal pintle...

Looks like an M142 cradle slimmed down with a bunch of it missing. M142 cradles are the best option for mounting the 60 to a vehicle. Make sure you get the long pintle and not the short.

I dont know where or who you're getting you sending units from. But a lot are cheap reproductions from somewhere overseas that just wont work period. A lot of places are offering these as original NOS or what not.
