Spikes are finally straight, and painted.......
The saws castings are rough, it's not perfect......
But it's way better than being locked up, full of mud in a dumpster....
I put the top cover back together with JB weld, it was broken bad and had hole ate
Threw it..... I won't run it too much..... it's loud and slow but still pulled hard
I like old mag

If anyone has an interest, Cannon Gunnery Range South of Ft Leonard Wood is having their open house Saturday. They will have A-10's and F-16's doing bombing and strafing missions and a B-2 flyover. Nothing like the sound of an A-10 firing it's 30mm Avenger gatling gun at around 70 rounds per SECOND. When the exercise is over, the armored personal carrier target looks like lace because it has so many holes in it. The rounds travel at 3500 fps so the A-10 doesn't need any fancy computer to calculate aiming. Just put the target in the crosshairs and send it. I asked a crew member how many DU rounds it took to kill a tank. He said usually around 3 to "pop the top off" the other 67 are just insurance. Can't tell that I'm an A-10 fan can you?

Brrr-rrrrrr-rrrrrrr-rrrraaaaaapppppppppp!

Cobey, that Remy is coming along nicely.

Morning midlanders!

Air support for us grunts came in two flavors. Phantom or Skyraider (prop).

The Jets could be relied on to cover an area. The old, slow prop plane could 'hit that target in the head'.

Yep, Carl, kinda like a giant crop duster with rockets. Lethal.

I'll be able to hear it from here.

Yup, when you are in your fort and the indians are circling you want low and slow air support.
