    Ft Meade

    While Sarah still resides at Fort Meade, she is no longer a GL employee. She works in the tan building as soon as you turn into the lot off of Rock Avenue. Another good one escapes the clutches of Government Liquidation.

    M101A2 body material?

    The body panels are coated with zinc if manufactured by Pribbs. Ford Motor Company had the same issues with their cars back in the 80's. The problem is an incompatibility of the zinc coating and the crappy Mil-Prf-53022 or Mil-Prf-53030 primer. My M101A3 made by Pribbs has the same problem...

    M105 trailer brakes, elec conversion?

    Say what? Not that much larger?? A M105 weighs in at 2750 lbs. verses a M101A2 or A3 at 1300 lbs. It's a lot larger. Until you see both trailers side by side you really can't appreciate the size difference. MatthewH If you want to keep the trailer replace the axle with a commercial axle...

    Picking up 2 M105A2's Next Week. Have a couple of ?'s

    Call Sunbelt Rentals and get a 16' equipment trailer from them. It should run around $70 plus insurance unless you have an account with them. The traler will have surge brakes and be tandem axled which you will need to keep the tongue weight down. Load the front trailer on assend first, all...

    Off to Fort Meade

    Not much left of the museum now a days. Most of the good pieces have been moved to Fort Lee Virginia. http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/08/ap_aberdeen_ordnance_082309/

    Off to Fort Meade

    Are you bringing a trailer with you? If so you need to enter thru the commercial truck entrance off Rt 198. Very confusing the first time there as you enter a traffic circle, then just before entering back onto Rt 198 you make a right turn into a overgrown entrance. From Justin's email...

    M101 trailer tongue

    Depends on if you want brakes or not. If no brakes, Ebay for "trailer A frame coupler".

    Post-Auction-Win-EUC-Procedures

    Heidi has been great, as well as Brandi, but the guy that they have has been a dud. For the life of me I don't understand why Government Liquidation does not have an Email server that sends a receipt to the sending party. All of my work Email gets sent with receipt request, which has saved my...

    EUC & Insurance - both today...!

    I guess that I'm spoiled. My first EUC took less than 3 weeks. Subsequent submissions have taken from 3-9 working days.

    That only happens when you are going out of town the day after an auction when you don't have internet access. Get on the Live chat line first thing Friday AM. Have the person on Chat verify that your paperwork was received, though the last one I submitted, GL actually sent me a confirmation...

    Towing a M915A1, Drop the Driveline, or pull the axles?

    Most M915 series trucks don't have lockers. Pull the drive shaft and tape up the cap so that you don't loose the needle bearings. If you pull the axles you will need to plug the hole or it will leak gear oil all over the place.

    101 vs. 116?

    The 116 is the chasis while the 101 is the box. Hope this helps.

    M1102 +m35

    The M1102 is going to have the same ride height as the M101A3 trailer. Unless you mount another hitch on the M35, the trailer is going to ride nose high. There haven't been a lot of M1102 trailers released for sale, so prices for them have been high compared to the M101 series trailers.

    Got the rifle holder mounted today

    The Happy Switch is over rated. With a 30 round mag it takes less than 3 seconds to empty. With the cost of ammo running close to 40 cents per round, its not like the good old days of dumping a $150 a case for a day of fun. If you live in a gun friendly large state, life can be good. If you...

    Directions to BLDG 277 Aberdeen MD

    When you program your GPS, use Aberdeen MD not the Proving Grounds for the city and then skip the street number and just enter Michaelsvile Rd. There is only one "L" in the street name. I had no problem with my Garmin 785T doing it this way.

    MEP Trailers rated at 3,000 load capacity?

    The M116A3 trailers were rated for 1 ton if they used a 6 leaf pack. The trailer pictured only has a 4 leaf spring pack, so unless someone removed some leaves, I don't believe the plackard is correct.

    M8 Armored Car in Iraq

    A TWIC card is a ID card issued to those working in the ports. All personnel entering the ports have to have the card. You can thank the TSA for another "Fine job Brownie" moment. If this vehicle ever gets shipped, if needed my brother can remove the container from the port. Recently the...

    M8 Armored Car in Iraq

    Do you have a TWIC card Matt? Without that card, you won't be getting anything in or out of the port. Another money grab by the Feds.
