if you take out the 6.2 in favor of a gas powered motor and converting it back to 12v instead of 24 ?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The M715 never really made it into the Army ranks because of the engine that you couldn't get more than 20 miles from the motorpool.I have an M715 with a fuel injected Big Block Chevy, TH-400, Power steering and power brakes. I consider it an MV still. Still has a folding shield, canvas top, OD paint, blackout lights and stars on the doors.
My dad bought 2 Springfields and an Enfield in the late ‘40s and chopped all the stocks down. He cut 2” off of the 03’s barrel. They were GREAT sports rifles!That is what we in the milsurp firearms world refer to as a "bubba job". A sporterised military firearm is one that someone thought would be "better" after it was modified but what they have really done was taken an example of a historicaly correct piece of military equipment and turned it into something they could go down to WallyWorld and buy off the shelf.
I never did ask, why do you want to remove the diesel and run a gas motor?if you take out the 6.2 in favor of a gas powered motor
ya like this piece of crapThat is what we in the milsurp firearms world refer to as a "bubba job". A sporterised military firearm is one that someone thought would be "better" after it was modified but what they have really done was taken an example of a historicaly correct piece of military equipment and turned it into something they could go down to WallyWorld and buy off the shelf. CUCVs are a dime a dozen right now but when they dry up the price will go up and SOMEDAY someone will wish you had not done that to it. Look at the WWII jeeps, the prices are high in part due to the people who modified the krap out of them because they were "just an old piece of military junk".
