acprc Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Looks good I remember using one of these at work as the section hack. We had to take it down the M3 to fill it up as there was no petrol on the camp. We used to draw lots to see who was going! Much more fun than the two section Wolfs. Rapier equipment was long gone though. Do you have the NSN for the hoop you need, I will run it through the system to see if any are in stock anywhere? If you don't have the AESP for the parts I will look it up online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
