There was a post on SS about this. The BATF got their grubby hands on all of the stuff and demilled EVERYTHING! ALL of the machine guns were torched into pieces and the cannons were cut. There were pictures and they were depressing.

only the dummies were cut (stupid) but anything that was papered as a DD was left as BATF had no legal ability to cut them.

Well that makes me feel better but the article sure showed differently. Did you see that article?

Did you read the article, def written by someone who couldn't find a clue... I didn't know that the 6x6 M151s were called Mutts. :-) If you get a copy of the sales book, the items with DDs are indicated (coolest one to me, with a live cannon, is the CCVL). They will transfer or demil them, your choice.

I didn't get a copy of the sales book, hell, i couldn't even afford one track plate let alone the whole vehicle! Now let's see, should I transfer or demill? That is a tough decision. YEA, RIGHT!
