    towed howitzers

    It is possible but Art. is realllly expensive. I am interested only in MV cause I can't afford BMFG. A deuce is best suited I think to a M37. Basically if it is muzzle loading and black powder your fine. If you breach load you better be black powder. It is possible to go the DD route with...

    Spotted a cannon? while getting gas for my bobbed deuce

    That BFG fires separate projectile/bags. Shells could be manufactured for inert. All in all WTF!!!!! I can not believe that was not in a secured yard. The boys up the road were playing with the M777 earlier this month. They announced it on the radio. Wonder if they would let me join in with...

    Deuce Parking Zone

    Sorry about the hi-jack!!! Is the armor crossing available? I've also heard of "Artillery overhead" signs that is the one I want. Any one have a lead on any of those three?

    Deuce Parking Zone

    DOT classifies those as warning signs. So if you need a warning about a parked deuce then that sign may just be valid. I know that whole camo thing makes them hard to see!!!! roflAny luck removing those stumps!!!? Appears to be quite a bit of work on them so far.

    Political Messages on your MV

    Well I started out with my opinion and ended with it. Guess a bumper sticker would be even less influencial due to the wonderful and insightful opinions I've read and thought about here. HardCorps and SasquatchSanta started off a thought I've been going over. Even PapaBear echoed it. I think...

    What Does "No RAD" stenciled on bumber and door mean

    glcaines has it rite by the tail. Self luminous articles require special handling and respect. Radiation is not something to just shrug off as the "cancer" scare and over reacting. My job is dealing with many environmental problems. i.e. environmental engineer. As for the stencil this could...

    Mini Tank

    Strange Tanks Of The World dubious source in my mind but wealth of strange armor. I seem to recall a PM or PS article about mini tanks the USA was developing between the world wars. I have studied armor since I was a kid not sure this tank is the Italian one.

    Engine block cracked

    Depending on the overall access available to you I would go with ernieflash. Process he laid out is identical to resetting a heal on an anvil. Anvils generally have low carbon work surfaces and higher carbon bodies. Di-similar metals and alot of work hardening and work alone will crack an...

    USMC Unknown Vehicle

    Still thinking about building one. Would have to be a diesel or multi fuel plant but 6x6. Should I start with a M151? Any one got any ideas?

    USMC Unknown Vehicle

    I want one. I saw this back in school. At the time a team was building an air ride system that was supposed to increase the load capacities and also allow more articulation but also allow the vehicle to be stored in the aircraft. I concluded back then that they should have made it a 6x6 for...

I have seen demilled barrels put on carriages before and I believe as long as the fire black powder they are not destructive devices. PM for pics if you are interested in a project. Again its...
