    15-213 Garand Picture of the Day - BARC



    The BARC was one of a series of amphibious cargo vehicles developed by the U.S. Army during the Korean War to replace the DUKWs left over from the Second World War. The DUKW had given yeoman service in both wars, but the Army saw that larger and more modern vehicles would be able to better perform the DUKW’s tasks in the Cold War. It therefore developed a range of new designs during the 1950s, each with far greater cargo capacity than the 2.5 ton DUKW: the 5 ton LARC V (Lighter, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo, 5 ton), the 15 ton LARC XV, and the 60 ton BARC.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I saw DUKWs out on the ranges in Ft Lewis and Yakima, but never saw a BARC...not even in the outdoor museum in Camp Pendleton...

    One look at the top picture and the words "what a f***ing huge target that is" instantly came to mind.
