Does anyone have any close ups of the 113A3 or the MTVL I have a few small distance shots from the web but would like some shots if anyone has any. Any help would be appreciated.

I was kicking myself for not having my camera with me during this last brigade ex. I was working with some enginneers and I could have gotten some good pics. Maybe if I can get a hold of a dig camera I can sweet talk some chimos into letting into their lines.

Mark,
I have a bunc of shots of this beast:



There will be a delivery of M577A3, MTVL with turret, w/o turret, cargo and recovery variants this spring to Pet. Will be there at that time and plan to do walkarounds of the lot.

All future trackjam conversions i hope. Track will be a challenge.

And that new drive sprocket. Why did they have to go and change that! Got to get to work on a Grizzly turret one of these days!

One of the guys I was talking to said the only that sucked about this vehicle is the track. They aren't using the old Dhiel track and this one keeps throwing. There is also no more pounding track on this one either. I don't know about you but the space between the track and end connectors gives me the willies.

My hunch is that there will be a different track before too long
