Glad you found her a good home. Glad also that the ground was solid for move-out (hate to think how tht could have ended up in the rain)! Where in Virginia is the museum?

You know your military never does anything inadvisably without thoroughly considering EVERY possible angle. The reason the pin was designed like that was so at minimum TWO would be needed to pull it, so they could ask each other first: - "Is this a good idea?"

I believe the M19 has been removed from inventory. But maybe some of the old timers around here can tell you a story or two. I recall hearing that the pin was REAL hard to pull: - I think the setting was 55 foot-pounds (74.57 joules) - The idea was you wanted to be certain of intended use...

That's Pretty Amazing

Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing: - Is that a chain drive (bottom photo, second column from the left) Is that the power train to the axles, a chain drive?!

Sure hope that puppy gets a good home somewhere: - Wonder if Jay Leno could use one to round out his collection?!
