Hello everyone,

This is my attempt to produce a booklet that identifies the various M60 hulls chronologically. Has a been a slow process with time being a scarce commodity for me right now. These t ...

Doug,

Sorry for the long overdue reply. Checked my library and came up with this conclusion. In 1969 there were a very limited amount of M60A1E2's available. 300 were in storage until a satisfactor ...

Hi Doug,

I can say for certainty that the M48/T95 rig wasn't used for those tests. Anything else I'd have to unpack some boxes to find the info. Give me some time and eventually I'll be back on a n ...

It’s been a hot minute since the last time I posted an M60 I inspected. Was lucky enough with the time change to capture the M60A3 in Calvin Oklahoma (34.965031, -96.255376) coming back from Lawton. ...

Hi Harold and welcome.

The tank in Armada Michigan has the old Main Battle Tank - Medium Range (MBT-MR) turret installed. That’s why it has the driver in the turret position. This was the progeni ...

That’s it,
Wasn’t sure of the manufacture so I guessed. Did not realize Northrop Grumman were the producers. I believe this vehicle right now is the only one currently considered as the M2/3 re ...

Those not on display or in museums are located in target ranges like the Yuma lots BB-61 posted. Almost every major range or installation will have them in target lots or down range. Anniston doesn't ...

After searching through my library, I found the following images and information,

Andrei,

Nice find on the Chrysler XM-1 pictures. I noticed this tank is using the "Light Weight" sprockets, or at least appears to be. I was not aware they even made these that far back. I didn't s ...

Andrei,

I have been working a timeline of the M1 cupola and all it's issues that I plan to post here. Unfortunately I have other commitments keeping me occupied that have slowed down the work. To a ...

I agree wholeheartedly with Scott,

Glad to see you posting pictures again. Thank You for continuously doing this !!!!
