    Yes, it probably will, but do not expose to light

    T-72 Tank Commanders Periscope Sight ?

    These are 1st GEN night vision scopes requiring an active IR source. 24VDC. Very basic, 1970's technology.

    Cutting through 13mm Armor...and installing windows.

    Now that you have clarified your interest is actually an OT-65, there is a new problem to consider: The OT-65 uses a Wilson Pre-select gearbox, similar to a Ferret, Fox, Saladin, and Saracen. These gearboxes work fine when well-adjusted and not abused. But when there are problems, there are...

    Just stay away from Boys Bros. They are nothing but trouble.

    Cutting through 13mm Armor...and installing windows.

    Plasma will do it easily, but like Porshetech, I do not suggest it. It will damage the value, appearance, and history of the vehicle. And you will forever be explaining to people why you cut up a good piece of armor. I strongly suggest you get it and live with it awhile before such plans...

    Nothing is going to happen to it. It was well established as a trust and is well covered.

    Road legal depends upon the state. Some DO permit licensing tracked vehicles as stated. You want a turret model, well there are two types. The Peak turret mounts a single GPMG. The other is the Alvis "Fox" turret mounting a 30mm RADEN and GPMG. Both are around in the US, but if you want too...

    Humber Pig APC

    1. Of course you have to replace ANY glass once it has taken hits. ?? 4. And this makes what different for a road vehicle? Neither was designed for off road. 5. PK has 3" openings on all four sides. Small holes??? 7. Yes, extensive history of troops hating it, too. 8. PK does as as well. 9...

    tanks vs phonebooks

    Jacques Littlefield passed away just last January, not in 99. He was an awesome gentleman and a true credit to our hobby. Its a good example of what a Billionaire can do.

    Humber Pig APC

    The 1/4" inch armor on a Peacekeeper is a very high grade alloy that is very effective in stopping virtually anything up to 30.06AP. It is superior to what is used on the earlier V-100's. The windows are almost 3" thick and equal to the other armor. Overall, it is easily equal to the heavier Pig...

    Yep, do it all the time. And you do NOT need to disconnect the two batteries.

    The Pig's name is well deserved.

    how 2 have fun on a half track

    Actually, it looked pretty stupid. A thrown outside track during a power slide like they were doing results in a instant, very instant roll. The passengers standing would have been pitched out and probably squished like a bug. Our hobby of vintage MV's will not be helped in the future with...
