I was at Mechanicsburg on Wednesday and there were 3 complete M66 ring mounts with legs. When I asked about what was the lot number, I was told that they were going to be mutilated. This is sad. They would not even part with the legs because that is all that I need. I am going to do a Google search and see when the last time a ring mount leg was used in the commission of a crime or act of terror!!!

There are literally hundreds of container ships rusting at anchor because they can't get a load in this economy. You might be able to get a deal on one to fill out a load.

All US made equipment that was lend/leased can NEVER come back! The only way is to get a special exemption from the State Department.

True for Lend/Lease items, but the US also SOLD a lot of surplus equipment to foreign countries. Those CAN be repatriated.

Not true. Most equipment that was GIVEN to foreign countries can never be sold back in the US. This was done because the US taxpayer paid for it once when it was made and then it was given outright to foreign countries. It was thought that those foreign countries shouldn't be selling something to taxpayers that they had already bought.

Other equipment was simply abandoned because it was cheaper to abandon it and replace it than ship it back to the US where it would sit in huge yards until it was scrapped.
