Nice collection. I should have bought a Lynx back when I had the chance. Neat vehicle. A hammock works well from an Abbot barrel as well:razz:

If you like armor as well, drop me an IM when you get to the area.

What era?

Yes, solid tan with black markings. 5SFG at the time was participating with the 101st on peacekeeping mission in the Sinai and training Egyptian Forces. They also had a detachment in Saudi. Both were in their AO.

I saw M151A2/TOWs in desert colors while at Ft. Campbell in 1986. 5thSFG had two parked in their compound along with several other desert painted vehicles.

Sadly, he just passed away last week...a 10 year battle with cancer...only 59.

Makes sense.

Nice complete interior. Shorter USAF/M-706E2 bench seat, however. Correct full length models are available, NOS.

Parkerizing only works on steel/iron not aluminum. Most replicas on the market have a lot of aluminum parts, which would have to be anodized for a similar finish.

Who is insisting on the white star? Lots of VN vehicles had black or no star.

Real M-2's have a phosphate finish usually referred as Parkerized. It is a really dark gray, almost black but no quite. It is very flat. High temp flat black has been around forever for grills, stoves and such.

Actually, the one from Three Kings, The Siege, and Broken Arrow, as well as two others from The Siege, are owned by list members.

Owning any armor in the U.S. is not a matter of law, its a matter of availability. There are several M-113's in private hands, one for sale right now in Brevard, NC. A few Lynx are here- former Canadian and Dutch. Nothing is illegal, and certainly nothing in Canada that we can't own here.

But Jacques only collects, he seldom ever sells...

First, they are all 40+ years old and very well used when they were surplused. Second, during that 40+ years, they were serviced by conscripts who could not have cared less. So, they are usually very worn out already. Being the nature of most armor, they are hard to work on as far as access, but...

Where do you get rims that will work with the 14x20's?

You can have the out of state verification done at many car dealerships. Its only a verification that the VIN matches your paperwork. Its not an inspection. As for titling in Ohio with only a Bill of Sale, depending on the state from which it came, its real easy. I've titled vintage vehicles in...

But those are just resin/plastic solid castings. I like IRAC for dummy guns. Steve does great work. The guns are so exposed and important on a Gun Truck, they really need to look authentic.
