Clinto, Congrats on the mule! I had mine out for the Memorial Day parade and it was appreciated by many 'Nam vets. I was able to muscle the 2 halves of the 106 out of the truck, into the shop and onto the stands myself. To mount the completed unit on the mule it will require soldier A,B, and...
I have been busy in the shop stripping the mule down and working on the 106 recoilless rifle restoration. Lots of cleaning up on all fronts. I cleaned up the barrel and found a piece of scedule 80 4" steel pipe to sleeve and join the halves together with. The cuts in the breech and muzzle are...
David,
The 50 is only used for ceremonial duty on the back of the mule. I would never attempt to fire it on the mule. The 50 mount will probably be removed from my fun mule as the other mule will become the 106mm RR hauler.
The parade had a great turn out of green iron from the local pa club. The Marines had their flashy H3 there for all to see. I had my mule there with Ma Deuce on board. Enjoy the pictures!

Anybody have any small parts?
I need the small cap that covers the elevation shaft of the T&E opposite the operating hand wheel
I need the cap that goes on the end of the breech...
This morning 5/4 I will be picking up a parts mule and the demilled 106mm RR. Both will reside in the garage for restoration hopefully to be completed by 10 November for a roll out at the USMC birthday party in Philadelphia. The restoration of the 106 (for display purposes only) will be the...
I used the military tie downs to secure the extra 105 trailer inside the bed with a ratchet strap for my trip from Fort Dix to Delaware. Once I got home I used 2 come alongs hooked to the tie downs and lowered the trailer down on ramps to the ground with no problems. They also secure my mule...
