Hi Doug! Hi Folks!

Since nobody else commented on it, I will.....have a look at the thickness of that gunshield armor (Roy!)....protection as good or better than the hull of a standard M113 (certainly better, if it's steel).
I notice that and I too was wonder if that was steel or something else.
I wonder if the front hull plates are also thicker? Would love to pop that engine compartment hatch and check out the armor.
If I wasn't so in love with the world's greatest scout vehicle ever and so hard at work getting the rest of the world to rename it the 'Lingle' , I would launch an internet campain to rename the M-113 "The Blackhorse".
Very interesting!
