    ATF Form-6 Delays

    ATF is notorious for delays when it comes to approving forms and getting things done for transfers. The shop east of here, sells suppressors which require a $200 tax and ATF approval, when I was in there in Dec. they said they were getting approvals from ATF for purchases made the previous...

    M882 Radio Rack Help

    Not the best pic, this was taken by a gent in the late 1970s with a 35mm camera, and scanned, so it's not the best. However it does show the basic contents of some of the rack. What I can see: Top left, fire extinguisher Top right, AN/GRR-5 receiver Middle left, RT-524 transceiver Middle...

    help me design a radio shelter

    Update, just so you guys don't think that this is not on my radar anymore. It is very much in the planning and parts acquisition phase. I can afford the shelter here soon, the truck to carry it is another matter, but it is still ongoing. Last several years have SUCKED income-wise. This...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    Yes, the stuff inside you are stripping out is worth something to those of use who are go in the opposite direction, like I am, building a custom radio shelter. They aren't worth a fortune, but they are worth it to save for reuse, to keep good USA-made parts out of landfills. Short answer, yes...

    I think it's genetics. Comes from being part mailman, and part milkman. :)

    Aberdeen to Chattanooga

    Like a kitchen trailer, a little bigger than a M105.

    What would a dodge cucv look like?

    I thought taking a mid-70s Ramcharger and making a CUCV clone a la M880 series would be a cool project.

    Soldier needs ride from Denver airport to Ft. Carson

    ****, those cutbacks are really screwing things up! Hope you find a local SSer to help out. If I lived in Colorado, I'd be happy to pick you up for no charge. Least I could offer to help a stranded G.I. out.

    M37 variant/motor pool experiment?

    There is an ATV called the COOT that uses frame pivots like this to get over objects. While I believe it's okay for a smaller vehicle, I hate to think of the stresses on the pivot of a larger vehicle, especially offroading. Also, would there be any DOT restrictions against using these on a...

    so I saw an F-16 driving down I-66 a couple weeks back....

    Saw this on I-66, just west of The Plains, VA, going eastbound toward Washington, D.C. F-16 Falcon riding the back of a semi trailer, wings and tail were taken off and riding underneath it. I don't think there was an engine in there, just the hull. Was about December 21st. or so. Sorry for...

    725 door latches anyone?

    If it turns out the spring is shot in each door handle, perhaps you can use M-37 door handles as a replacement, they are very similar.

    Current Auction Item - NOT BREAKING RULES!!!

    This is normal - the government gets first dibs on auction items. Heck, there were a few times GL sold something, we picked it up and had it for a few weeks, and THEN the military demanded it back. You get a refund for your bid in that case, but it's still the way things are. Remember, the...
