Stryker Gun System Turrets wanted!!!

Post by chrisswim »

From pack N137, I am looking for and want some of the turrets from the Stryker Gun System (M1128). This is the base that the gun rests upon . So if you have any extra turrets for this vehicle, may want some of the guns if I get plenty of the turrets. Please let me know, PM if you have any extra!!

Thank you in advance.
Chris

Chris,

I may have a couple. What are you working on? What are you offering in trade? OBTW how did the big battle go or is that happening this weekend?

Paul,
The SADF will win tomorrows invasion by the USMC!!! At least that is my stand....

I am working on some M-8 gun system. Hence those turrets.

Hi Chris,
Sorry for the delay. The guns and turrets are yours, no strings. PM an adress and I'll ship them down.

Mick.

Thanks Chris,
I posted the guns and turrets today, it may take a few days.
Please post some pic's on the forum of the finished DIY if you can, it's always good to see.

I'm still in two minds as to which way I am going to go. I did have a plan to build up an Australian force, easy to do 1 to 1 for the most part, I had alot of M113s, Landrover, UH-1,Tigers etc.
The SA stuff was an accident. Picked up a load of Sc##### -20c on the $. Ratel, Eland, Smil trucks and I already had Gripen + Hawks from way back.
Then everything got put away for many years.
I was about to sell what I had (which is not much really) but now I'm thinking I will build a small force.
It will be freelance but 90% Ozzie or South african so as to use their tables and rules.
I will way up the pros and cons of each in the next week or so.
Mick.

Hi Chris, Got the turrets OK, very nice. I will mount them on Ratels.
Looks like I'm going for the South African Force. Spent some time on the weekend stripping paint. S****a has some detail if you take off 2 layers of thick brushed on Humbrol !
First unit coming together, 2 Sqns Eland mosty 90, some 60 and a few Landrover/ Samil 20.
They will have to hold the fort until I get the first Rooikats. Will be ordering from S****a soon.
Thanks again.
Mick.

My PM seem to be hung up.

MGS Turret

Post by chrisswim »

Mick,
Glad you received the stuff and like it.

If any one else has any Stryker Gun System Turrets, I would appreciate it if you could send some my way. I do have some extra barrels to use to create the M8 MGS on Sheridan hull.

Thank you, Chris
