Just to throw out my opinion, I also got the seat cushions from Surplus City for my M38A1. I love them. No, they're not very original, but most can't tell the difference at a glance and they ride so ... |

I guess you could call it the never-ending beach of moon dust and rocks. With lots of trash and human fecal matter everywhere. And dogs.

...If it's good news or bad news, but I may be the owner of a 1954 M170 soon. The problem is...I'm still 9000 miles from home! |

Not sure if he wants me posting this, but I just gotta. This is my dad test firing my semi-auto (boo!) 1919A4 mounted on my '53 M38A1. The goofy grin at the end says it all.

I'm considering refitting my jeep with a radio system as it shows signs of once having one. I'm thinking it was the AN/VRC-10 system. My jeep already has the AB-449G antenna mount. What base and an ... |

It's nearly fixed now. Having some set-backs (4 of the connecting rod bolts stripped when torquing them down to spec...sheesh). I've got .050" of end play now, though, so I think my noise should be ... |

Whew, back on my own SN.
I think I got lucky with the connecting rods. All measure to spec. Apparently the engine hadn't ran much after its "rebuild" years ago. Cylinders still had cross-hatchin ... |

Turns out there were a whole bunch of problems. Long story short, I'm basically rebuilding the entire engine, including honing out the cylinders (true-ing them up to 40 over as the pistons indicate). ... |
