    I had read about that, was left in a small town as a monument. It was said that the gun wasn't even deactivated, and would fire

    Looks like an ISU 152...there's a few parts back and forth between models but they didn't throw anything away. A tank destroyer, it weighed in at about 46 tons...I know a guy that would take it as is.

    Love practicality of the Russianicon technology at the time, so fast forward to today and good to see adjustable metrics and sledge hammers still have a place in getting a Russian SPG running let alone no safety specs when oxy cutting!
