M105: What to look for?

[91W350]

We scored this cherry today, looks like a nice folding handle and jack style landing gear....

Another one, this one is like mine, does not have the folding handle, but does have the jack. Glen

To bad you're so far away. I have a great straight tailgate for a M105A2 I saved for $65 but shipping would be prohibitive. Regrets.

Well we will be at the SSGR of 2012 so if you still have it in 10 months ill get it from u then. If not then there will be anther.

I really don't like that twist and release style of landing gear leg. Looks like it would be to easy to a child to release the landing gear leg. Altho I am looking for anther green m105a2 with cover and bows, glen, hint, hint.

A lot of of times you need a lever to get enough pressure to release the stand, I doubt a child even climbing the gear and using the handle for a step would release it. I have bows, sideboards soon, no covers though... at least covers that do not need repaired.

I've never seen that folding one. Bad to the bone. I doubt that the strongest of kids, maybe men, could unlatch that landing gear when there is weight on it.
