Tew's Armory Todd & Chad from Tew's Armory will be there! I just a load of new ammo cans in and stacked up with medical supplies and body armor! Were all out of military sleeping bags, they go fast! See you all there! I'm tired of the cold weather and looking forward to the event!

Same spot as last year, working on getting the trucks and trailers ready now!

No internal comms yet but the radio powering up and receiving was really exciting!

OT-90 Update Just got done the restoration project and thought I would update the site. I went out and bought a powerful pressure blaster, and then had to upgrade my air tank cause the old craftsman was not going to cut it. Got the new air compressor in and it runs on 220, not a big deal until...

Just got the comm leads in, thanks!!! mail worked pretty quick!

Very impressive! I like seeing progress! Make sure you include your command chair pictures and ideas too!

Not sure the exact amount but you could take a normal BMP weight and subtract out the OT-90 weight and get close.

The interesting part is getting the rear road wheel to pivot forward and release track tension. That was a fun time in the mud!

Currently sand blasting and priming my OT-90 now, pics to follow. We did manage to get an English manual and found out the radio is still installed and powered right up- amazingly. It does cross over on the 6M band so we can pick it up on our HAM radios, if we can plug in a mike to transmit...

Tew's Armory will be there! We are loading up this weekend and will be there in force- getting bigger every year! Having a sale on WW2 ammo cans, 2/25 or 10/100! We just got a new shipment in and have plenty! Come check out the Flare Launchers as well! I could not get a big enough trailer this...

I have lots of extra .50 cal lids, 2$ea. I am way short on 81mm lids and .30cal lids. I will trade straight up for any of those.

We had a great time! thanks for all who showed their support, even in the rain! We came more prepared than ever and keep growing each year! We are literally out of several sizes of ammo cans! lol Thank you all so much- I filled up the entire cab w gear I bought for myself!

Were waiting for beter weather before take our swimming!

our USO girl has confirmed she will be back! Make sure you stop over and say hi to Alexa! Cant wait for the show! We will be camping out of the S-280 Shelter on site!

Wont be the same one as last year, who knows where they fly off too! lol But we will be there! Its a tough job, but someone has to do it!

Well, im not sad im going to miss out on the crow bar to the nose plus 8 stitches and a broken nose, but work calls. Todd and I will be in Oaks Military Vehicle/ Gun Show that weekend. We will miss everyone, the kids are still bugging us to go back just so they can eat mor MRE's- go figure lol...

The book may tell u to not rewind under a load, but all my time in Maintenance, the only way we could ever get them to wrap perfectly tight was to put the truck on a slight incline and attach it to the concrete pilons by the shop, and use the winch to pull its self up hill slowly and the cable...

Im thinking Memorial Day or 4th of July sound like good times to try river crossings! Yea, banned from driving on the yard, I think I will take it and go get the mail if it stops raining! lol that will sufficiently scare the neighbors! and yes, an entire perimeter path needs to be cut around the...

Oh yes, all Russian APC's to include the BMP/OT-90 are designed to be able to cross streams and rivers. Thats of course the idea, we shall see! they do have several sump pumps in the floors that pump out any leaks, mine do engage- so Im hopefull! Track propulsion in water, so slow but no other...

Tew's Armory will be there! Had a great show last year and expanding! Trying to convince the USO girls to come again! and we ran out of gear last year so we are gonna fix that one too!
