MVPAL Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Hi All, I am a fellow war machine enthusiast and came across this discussion group on Olive-drab.com and thought I would check it out. Every spare moment of my time is working with military vehicles in some way. I have allot of MV pics from places I have been and you can read my MV Journal. Feel free to use the comment feature on my blog. For some reason no one ever has. I have owned quite a few MV's as of late. Most recent is a M 2-4 and M 3-4. Then I picked up a really cool M-37 command truck. Currently I am messing with a near all original M274-A5. I have never owned one before and have to say it is the first I will keep forever. What a fun platform vehicle. They are all pictured in my blog as well. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you in the United States. Edited July 30, 2008 by Marmite!!

abn deuce Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Welcome to the Forum sounds like a resource that we will all be checking out and using soon. One can never have to many sites to locate parts or if need be to sell a bit here and there . I know that we will all be interested in any photo's you might like the post here as well.

MVPAL Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 My Father and his good friend and I all brought the following along with quite a few 1000 rounds :tup: HK51 (My Favorite) Thompson Ak47 Ak74 MP40 8mm 1919 Browning 37mm towed anti tank gun. This February we are doing another shoot that will be a night time tracer shoot. We will have plastic pipes filled with propane for targets and two rounds of open fire. IAWCA (Idaho Automatic Weapons Collectors Association) does a bang up job. I would anyone to come visit and see the spectacle. Here are pics from last years shoot.

MVPAL Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 I must say Idaho is pretty awesome. We have one of the US's best mountain ranges with endless recreation. We have a sage desert in the south that has a few spots of dunes and some of the best ski hills and lakes around. Idaho's recreation and guns laws are very loose, which makes a great combo for people who love military vehicles and guns. Any most any citizen can own a machine gun for a 200.00 fee and you can drive you MV's around with a yellow/orange triangle slow moving sign without to much trouble. I hope to make it over there to see all the sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow you sure know how to have a good time, welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPAL Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks Joris! The people here are great so far. I am on other forums that are full of salty dogs and trolls. Speaking of fun, check out this video I made of our most recent shoot. We brought a 37mm towed cannon as well :angel: It is a little long but fun to watch. The guy on the browning in the beginning is my dad. This year I plan on doing a few MV trials videos. My first attempt will be to take a loaded Mule into the back country and run it through all types of terrain. Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
