V300/600

Just asking out of curiosity, but has anyone seen any of the LAV-300/600's in private ownership? I know I've read someone on here owned one at one point and I know that there's been one worked on for a SWAT team, but just didn't know the availability. If I recall correctly they were never sold to the US, but used by foreign countries.

I think Littlefield owned one. Other than that, a few were reclaimed in Just Cause but almost all of those went to LEOs. When they are done with them, they probably will go back to the Feds for destruction.

Good stuff. I bet there's just a crazy amount of cool stuff floating around in people's barns in this country. Everything from planes to artillery pieces and this V600 somewhere in the mix.

You just bought a M901, you want an armored car too??

I know, now I'm just getting greedy. Lol. if I had my choice though I'd have an M551 for my tank, a V300 for my wheeled armor, my m901 of course and an M578 recovery vehicle to work on them all.

You are forgetting the heavy artillery. M110 203mm SPG should do

Can't forget about the artillery. Maybe upgrade to the M109 paladin for that job.

You mean downgrade from a 203mm to 155mm? Go big or go home right?
