Actually if you really want a tank, the guy that sold me my halftrack, is selling one of his 3 Stuarts.

Man its a shame that high powered machinguns are expensive. How much are the tanks (like I can afford it

).

A parts kit for a .50 is about $5000, complete, while an assembled one runs for at least $8500 and those are semi-autos. Currently the bullets run about $2 , if you are lucky, to $4, which is more common, a piece. Tanks like those Stuarts will sell for about $80K to $110K. While one that needs a bit of work is about $50K and one that needs a lot of work will go for about $30K. One of these days I am going have to try and get into one of these tanks. I am pretty sure my 6'4", 250 pound frame will have a hold time in one of those tanks. I would like to see and maybe have an M8 or M20 armored car.

I took some of my pictures and the pictures from others and made them into a video.
