M2 and M85 both used solenoid. I sold the last .50 feed can I had but still have 7.62 and .50 chutes. Looks like you have the mounts in place as well as spent casing system.

NAPA should have them

Sounds like piston sticking. Cheap enough to replace. Swap it out and be done with it.

Cadillac-Gage was never associated with Cadillac in any way.

All of this has been covered many times on many threads. Suffice to say, the biggest problem of owning a BTR in the US is it's width. It is oversized and you will not get it licensed for road use; the main fun of wheeled armor. If that is not an issue, the check out Augdog's. It has a lot of...

You are correct about duty. No customs duty on vintage vehicles. Bring it into Baltimore. There is a RORO twice a month from Portsmouth. You need and approved ATF Form 6, but no fees for that.

Given the roads of the ETO, 35mph is pretty much the max that could possibly be used. 100mph would be totally useless, even absurd.

You need to invest in a manual before seriously considering one of these. Their complexity cannot be overstated. And re-engineering is a pipe dream.

You can do the ATF Form 6 yourself. It's free and there is no import license required for personal use.

We created a dedicated wrench by grinding a shallow (narrow) box end wrench. Works great.

Bottom line is this: IF you attempt to bring in anything gun-related, and IF Customs inspects the shipment and finds it, you WILL get a visit from the ATF. Smoke dischargers are nothing but tubes and are easily replicated here. You can mess with having them demilled to ATF specs, but its far...

I would wait on a specific vehicle especially since it is not going to be leaving right away. As for a machine gun, forget it entirely. You cannot import a deactivated gun or even the barrel. And a dummy is not worth the potential hazard, especially on a Ferret with an m1918 where there are tons...

A tarp flapping in the wind at 70+mph will beat the crap out of anything. Paint on a tank is not anything special.

For first time armor, you just can't beat a Ferret. Size, parts, driving, cost, availability, its a great place to start. While the turret of the 2/3 it cool and the most plentiful, consider a 1/2. Room for three, and you can mount a .50. Before buying, get a User's Manual and study up. They are...

You might get better results by placed in the want ads. Also a bit more title info.

Nothing wrong with chain drive. Ever looked in a transfer case?

Batteries have to come a long way before it is really practical for military use.

Steve is indeed a great source. You can also find him on eBay as ciasteve.

This is the same problem as with submarines. If we give up the ability to built, it is very time-consuming, difficult, and expensive to ever get it back.
