    Slant back in FL

    Depends what speed setting you're on, slow or high. High is 6,000 rpm, or 100 per sec. Where are you buying ammo for $8 for 100 rounds? Probably closer to $20 or $30 per second, but we're really splitting hairs here. Either way, running a minigun is very expensive, and spare parts are...

    Door numbers

    Unit designations maybe? In the Gulf War (the first one) armored units would put a v, ^, <or> on their sides, so that far-off US aircraft/helicopters and other ground vehicles could easily see that your vehicle was, first of all, American, and second, that you belonged to such-and-such unit...

    Slant back in FL

    If it's got a NFA transferable minigun, them fellas got some CASH! HMMWVs go for $30K or so, but the last transferable M134 I saw sold in Small Arms Review magazine for $250,000. There's only about 12 in civilian hands...

    Cracked 302 exhaust manifold

    Just letting you know, if you can't find a replacement old stock one, there are some exhaust shops that will build a tube exhaust manifold that will bolt right in, based on your cast iron original. Breathes better too. But it is a couple hundred $$$. Just in case you can't find an old one in...

    Canvas

    I bought a vinyl tan cover for my old M416 trailer back in 1998 or 1999 from Pizzoferrato. The cover itself was rugged, and lasted me a number of years, but the grommets were not the best quality and a few of them pulled out. I couldn't tell you the quality of their canvas, though, sorry.

    HUGE wrecker hooks and clevises - thought you'd like to see

    These are going to go in the For Sale section in the classified shortly. Picked these up at Colemans outta the yard. VERY heavy. I have a size 12 boot, so pic gives a comparison of the size.

    my deuce gets an M60 ring.

    Very cool Very cool. Keep us updated as the build goes along. BTW - there's a guy I found at the Tired Iron MV site (too bad it rarely seems to be updated or maintained anymore) who moulds .50 cal M2HBs out of resin, so well it looks real from right up close. Not as expensive as putting a...

    Would have liked to have seen this ebay auction end.

    He's tried to sell this many time before. Wants no less than $45K for it.

    New here.... "13"

    I'm not a big fan of the camo job on the camper, looks like the camouflage of the Royal Bahamian Navy to me. But I LOVE the last action shot!

    Painting the Red Cross on military ambulances

    Opie - Thanks for the great information! Your research skills are commendable! Will have to print that out when I get home in order to have a reference to do the red crosses on my M-725 come springtime.

    Snapping the medium towbars and towbar availability

    Here's one for all of us. Just putting 2 and 2 together and making a question out of a couple facts: 1. It is hard for guys like us to find surplus towbars. They aren't rare, by any stretch of the imagination, but uncommon. When found, they are relatively expensive for us, running $200 up to...

    Tank Overhaul on the Military Channel

    I'm not sure I have the Military Channel, but it sounds interesting. Can anyone find the webpage for the show on the net for us?

    Pottstown Pa GPMVHS show (formerly jakes flea market)

    I went to both last year. I preferred it at Jake's too, at least then you could hit the flea market at the same time. Unfortunately, IIRC, I believe the new owner of Jake's doesn't like military stuff and doesn't want us there. Too bad... I'll be at the one in April as well, along with Jim...

    peruvian 151

    Can M151s be imported back into the US? I know you can't buy them in their entirety from Uncle Sam, but how about bringing them back on a boat?
