If they do, by law they MUST charge you more than they do the Federal Government. That extra can be anywhere from a penny per item up to many multiples of what they charged the F.G. per item. Depends on how much it cost them to deal with people only buying a few low (to them) cost items once a...
Back when GL was doing them, they knew what verbiage that DLA would accept, and would look over the document to make sure all was well, then send to DLA. If it was your first, DLA would then send your info to about nine different agencies for a background check. Until ALL of these background...
Upright frame is mainly made out of rounded square aluminum tubing, Purlins are round and need to be twisted 90 degrees to lock into place. One 16x16 takes three upright frames, three crosspieces and 10 purlins. Because the tents and frames were sold separately, the majority of the frames...
Looks good Karl, appears that the rightmost MBU is a conversion from an earlier V-100 model, the middle one is an original V-103. Did you have experience on the MKT in service? I had to learn everything from scratch.

Wes,
That one is in the $500-1500 range. A skilled machinist could make replacement parts out of Delrin to complete it, but it would not be cheap.

Complete, and in excellent condition? If so, most of those old training aids start around $3,000 and can go up from there. Missing parts, or chipped corners can bring down that figure. Depending on the rarity, we could be talking five figures (US$, more in Canadian currency).
It is also an interference with 'interstate commerce' or "interstate travel' on highways that are financed with a Federal Highway Fuel Tax (and state taxes on that same fuel).
Yes. But this year will be the last that I will be heading up that effort. The whole system is (or soon will be) up for sale, all five trucks, five GI trailers, plus the 20 foot spare parts trailer, extra engines, tires, etc. I'm getting too old to do everything necessary by myself, or with...
