Surfing ebay I found this beast! This may interest some of you. If I didn't have another project going I would consider this.

Guess they need to make the banner near the top of the forum pages even larger....it states this like this, this size already.....

DO NOT POST ACTIVE OR UPCOMING AUCTION OR AD DETAILS

You will be BANNED for doing so.​

The man's new; we can cut him a little slack:

- at least up to the moment when...

Well good golly. I must of missed it. May I at least post a picture of what I saw????

 

[Jeepsinker]

If you can copy, cut, and post it yes.

What I think is weird is that I looked on ebay and have found NOTHING that could possibly be considered WW1 & WW2 5-Ton and Larger!?!?!?!

Well I am assuming it is a 5ton maybe I am wrong. It is a 6x6 so maybe an early 2 1/2.

What's the weapon in the ring mount (1939 auto-weapon "du jour"):

- .30 cal?

 

[jasonjc]

It looks to be a mock .50cal M2 with a flash hider.


Those old COE are kind of cool looking , like the big brother to a K-19. I'd like to have one.

Thanks for the ID. Guessing that piece is just window dressing then:

- Were there any .50 cal weapons in the U.S. arsenal in 1939?

What is it, Canvas

I found a 'What is it' today and couldn't see starting another 1 or 2 page whatzit thread. Usually the masters answer a what is it thread in the first reply so I'm just going to add this here, hope that's cool. Checked for a what is it thread in conversations and couldn't find one, yet!!

The first Canvas had some info on it so ran the data into the PC and only found manufacturer info and nothing G749 related. Appears too small for the deuce.

There's no current website so tried looking up the part numbers but haven't nailed it down yet.
It measure about 7' wide 5' ht. 2510-21-104.3925 8meb item 8

The next canvas is about 3x5 and has no data on it.



They're not in bad shape so they'll be passed along. Appreciate any info.
