    NEW M18 shooting live - VIDEO Wikieup OCt 2012

    Sweet. Does each round require a $200 tax stamp?

    HMMWV helmet / turtle top

    Hard tops don't go to any particular HMMWVs in any particular units. You'll find them all over the Army (probably other services too). They don't have any specific purpose either. It's just a hard top.

    Extended Grille HMMWV's

    The extended grill has nothing to do with armor.

    10 kw tactical quiet generator

    I haven't seen many MEP-803s come out. I'd love to have one. They're great generators. I've seen 'em dam near dead and still churning out stable power. They'll do almost anything you ask of them and more.

    MANAGE YOUR CLASSIFIED ADs

    I meant in the thread title so as you scroll thru the forum you see items, locations and prices without going into the ad thread. Like the one shown here. That's what a good title looks like in my world. No problem though, just a suggestion.

    MANAGE YOUR CLASSIFIED ADs

    Making item, price and location standard for the title would be great. I can't be the only one that usually looks at location first and price second.

    LWS gun ring or...

    I found a photo of the mount I was referring to as the typical unarmored roof turret with an M2. I'm sure it's the same as the standard mount BLK is referring to as well.

    LWS gun ring or...

    If we're thinking of the same HMMWV mount typical of the unarmored roof all I can picture up there is 7.62 and 5.56 machine-guns. I know I've seen M2's and MK19's on HMMWVs, but they were armored. It was probably a different mount. Have you looked in HMMWV TM's? The mounts in HMMWVs are usually...

    LWS gun ring or...

    I think it's for a M3 Scout car. I believe some types of Halftracks had skate rails too. Probably the same mount. I think the one you have posted is found on some of the M113 family of APCs. On M66 ring mounts half of the ring rotates above the fixed half. The actual MG mount itself is fixed to...

    LWS gun ring or...

    The type of DIY mount you are describing sounds similar to a skate mount or trolley. http://www.bmgparts.com/mount.html

    Blasting Aluminum

    I just stripped and repainted an aluminum mermite. It took 3 applications of the "aircraft stripper" stuff to get the paint off and even that didn't get it all. After much scrubbing with a green scratch pad I got about 95%, but getting it all out of the seams and edges was **** near impossible...

    Kraz 255b

    Did you get to work on it at all? Any improvements to the truck or headway finding parts?

    ID this APC?

    That's no APC (Armored Personnel Carrier). It's a MBT (Main Battle Tank). Looks like an M1A1. Wiki says that photo is of a Marine M1A1 in Fallujah 2004.

    Fort Gordon, Georgia Inspection

    I'm at Fort Gordon. Shoot me a PM, I'll see what I can do. WM's words are wise. Perhaps you know already, but if you don't want to take a chance, Gl is not the place to buy. Another FYI, the FGGA site manager won't let someone take a look at their truck after the auction is over unless you...

    Truck lite LED headlamps

    I paid about $150 for a pair on egay. The lenses were scratched to ****, but they cleaned up like new with a 3m polishing kit. I was amazed at how well the kit worked.

    Fuel Pod on a M105a2

    There probably isn't a TM on just the tank as it's a component of a system called a Tank and Pump Unit, or "TPU". I searched all the TPU -10 TM's and couldn't find a NSN match for a component tank with your NSN. Not uncommon as sometimes items from different manufacturers have different NSN's...

    Deuce Tailgate Crane

    Why not something like this: Mounting Base, Flush Mount, Red - Jib Cranes - Hoist Winch and Rigging - 2ZU56 : Grainger Industrial Supply This mount from grainger isn't cheap, but it'd probably be easy to build yourself. Cut a hole in your bed, make the plate span the stringers under the bed...
