    Rifle mount kits

    I did not know that. I always wanted to put my M14 in there, wouldn't bounce around, but I not allowed to have the rifle they gave me to use because it would do full automatic. Worked good in a hole with sandbags to hold her down. The butt holders are part of the installation for a real...

    True Cost of Ownership

    Fuel cost is not a consideration of the M35A2 Buy one that somebody has maintained, can tell you all about it. Get an Air Force Deuce and your efforts and money will not be wasted. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?55552-cost-of-ownership-(the-real-cost-of-a-deuce)/page7

    Rifle mount kits

    It was meant to be as in photos attached. My Deuce came with the mount mounted For carbines or M-14's. The butt holders on the floor photoed in my .mov files but they are too big to upload. Send an address with a PM and I can send that to you. The .PDF above should open for you or maybe...

    The earth is iron, it corrodes as earth was given an atmosphere. As to the human interaction with rust/corrosion ..................... Rust in History.

    Left front tire on M35A2 900x20s keeps going flat??

    sometimes one just has to scrap stuff. I had a wheel, 'a rim' a piece of the truck, that allows it to go. It was on the front of a M35A2 W/W That piece got repurposed because it was SCRAP so I made sure it was scrapped. The tire and tube and liner and the whole deal got made unusable.

    Camouflage Paint Code for M101A2

    The preview (thumbnail) is generated with a 3rd party app. It tries to take a "screenshot" so to say of the PDF. Some PDF's work fine, others simply blackscreen when it tries to do it, but they will open with a click. You could even look around in the SS website to find what it is you want...
