NEIL~ M551 North Las Vegas, Nevada
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hi,

A certain amount of artistic license went into that display...the SGLs, the main gun, the coax barrel, etc.

I might guess that this is a former Ft. Irwin OPFOR tank. The Cav Squadron (formerly the 1/221 Armor) from LV used to be (maybe still is?) part of the OPFOR at the NTC, which would put them in a position to acquire one when the M551s were retired. The over-long gun tube may actually be a cut-down VISMOD gun tube.

Chuck

They've put a bumper number on this from 2/116th Cav. If I remember right this unit is/was Idaho Nat'l Guard and they had Sheridans in the early 80's.

That coax is particularly impressive. Mr. Green
Maybe someone saw an old pic of the prototype with the spotting rifle.

If they're back (and I think they are), LTC Scott Cunningham, at one time CO of 1/221 ne 2/11th IIRC may be able to answer that for us.

That's only 100 miles from here. Naybe I'll try to see it. I understand it's inside the armory 'compound' so I may have to get special permission.
