Hey first post here I have a question is 16k for a brdm2 and 6k for shipping seem like a good deal it’s in ok condition and it has a turret thanks
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
BE VERY CAREFUL where and who you are purchasing the vehicle from.
P.M. me if you don't want to let other members (Why not though?) know.
I know of GOOD ones readily available here in Europe that have NO quirk,s rip off false declarations and or scam abilities!.
I very nearly bought one last month that had more nearly new "Things electronic" in than M.I.'42'. runs drives and is road registered.
Shipping from Europe (U.K) would be around £1600. or £600 deck freight.
I know of REPUTABLE trustworthy firms that build, recondition, To your specification, or sell as is,
Ok this may sound silly but couldn’t I fly down to the port and drive it back now of course it still would cost a lot in gas but it’s just a thoughtYou can't get that thing shipped across the US from an east coast port to Montana for under $4k. 2000 to 2500mi at $2 a mile. That's being nice about it with not knowing what fuel costs could be in 6 to 10 months when it could be picked up from port.
ha, ok. If that is your idea. With a chase truck with tons of spare parts that hopefully come along with it in your purchase you may make it 100 miles if even out of the port gates. Those 13R18 tires aren't something you will find a Les Schwab either.Ok this may sound silly but couldn’t I fly down to the port and drive it back now of course it still would cost a lot in gas but it’s just a thought
Yeah I figured it was silly thanks for the info guess I will have to keep savingha, ok. If that is your idea.

Recovering something that is meant for cross country driving like a 5 ton, M915, LMTV after its sat for a bit is one thing. A wheeled combat vehicle is another. i have rode in a V100 and I am sure even I would be worn out after 200 miles in the drivers seat and I drive a 5 ton everywhere more miles than anyone.

But can you even import a armored vehicle from Russia into the US?Yes, maybe it's a good price, but how are you can be sure in good condition?
Adequate price on BRDM-2 in Russia is about 1 million rubles = 13 000 $ (good shape, without HARD 'demilitarized' options (removed guns only), not 'digged' in engine and mechanical), but it will need some works around lost rubber seals and hoses. And can say, that works better doing with yourself xDDDD - no trust to anymore after some cases of scamming...
Short answer = yes. Long answer = it depends. How demilitarized is is, will it pass all 'agricultural' and other safety inspections, do the buyer , the seller, and the shipper all have the correct (and complete) ITAR paperwork? BATFE will have to inspect any weapons related parts to insure they can never be reassembled into a fire able condition. Lots of paperwork, but it can be done.But can you even import a armored vehicle from Russia into the US?
Would they cut holes in the armor as well? I heard a lot about this going on when you import from some strict places. Also, do you know anyone who does imports?Short answer = yes.

Nope, especially military ones. They will block it.But can you even import a armored vehicle from Russia into the US?
With an approved BATF&E Form 6 will it be possible in anyway to import from Russia?Be sure to have an approved BATF&E Form 6 first.
