M2A1 Halftrack restoration-- dialup beware

**alpaca andy** · 12-13-2014 03:52 PM

Alpacas are great animals and get along with anything. They are weary of dogs, but thats primal instinct to them. Cats, its funny, alpacas are mystified with them. They seem to not figure out what the heck they are. Llamas are the nastier of the 2. Im looking for a highland cow for the farm as a mascot , the farms name is Isle of Skye.

I will have some pics at some point with the halftrack and alpacas in the same pic

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Andy,
Did you get it completely finished and signed up in a particular unit's livery who were at DDAY?
Any finished photos ready for the 75th Anniversay?

Andy,
That is sad news mate. I know how that feels, problem is you spend the next few years looking for a new challenge!!
Thanks for bringing it to the Milsurps site and to see your hard work along the way.

**CINDERS** · 06-27-2018 12:43 PM

Sorry to hear about the the Half track going but I guess it went to a good home, but never fear I found a project for you with a bit of TLC it should come up a treat...............!

**Gil Boyd** · 06-28-2018 04:44 AM

Cinders,
I'll take that challenge mate, only catch is its in Bonger Bonger NSW

AFV's are eminently restorable because of their size. The down side is that they take up a lot of space and require a much bigger tool kit. You don't need to ***** foot around either. No lead loading thin panels that buckle as soon as you put heat on them
