Want to scare the neighborhood?

[TJ304]

I was just in the local hardware store. They are selling some interesting army surplus.
See the picture. The short tubes are $19.95 and are about 2.5 ft long. The long tubes
are $29.95 and are about 3.5 ft long. Strap a couple of these to your SUV to
carry your fishing poles and have some "fun". No, not really, but an interesting thought.

M1A1/A2 training sabot rounds. Sweet.

 

[DunRanull]

Are they waterproof and sealable? I see a lot of room there to bury stuff for safe-keeping...

 

[TJ304]

Yes. They are waterproof and re-sealable. 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
What came in them? Artillery round, small missle, etc"
I'm actually thinking of getting a couple.
As you say, good for storing things in
a safe location.

120mm M865 Target Practice, Cone Stabilized, Discarding Sabot-Tracer

The 120mm M865 Kinetic Energy (KE) training round provides realistic, accurate and safe training for tank gunnery.

www.gd-ots.com

"The M865 Kinetic Energy (KE) training round, in service with the United States Army's main battle tank fleet, utilizes a unique cone stabilizer to limit the safety fan required for tank gunnery. With its matched exterior ballistics, the M865 provides a realistic training device displaying theaccuracy and time-of-flight of the service round. The cone stabilizer provides a safety feature limiting the overall flight range to under 8km, reducing the requirement for extreme range safety fans.
Utilizing the same combustible cartridge case as the service round, and designed to resemble the M829 series Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized,Discarding-Sabot Tracer (APFSDS-T) in operational performance, the M865 represents a valuable KE training surrogate for the 120mmsmoothbore weapon system."

Which Parkrose Hardware?

 

[Spitpatch]

I believe the real McCoy projectile is depleted uranium. Close friend was a Tank Crew Mechanic, and I believe that's what he told me. Into a Russian tank like a really sharp sword into a pig.

Parkrose Hardware
1855 Blankenship RD
West Linn
Just off 205 at the 10th st exit.
They are in the old Albertson's building
on the Northside of 205.

Ya beat me to it. They would make excellent containers for buried caches.

 

[Knobgoblin]

The hardware store with the Woody's taco place next door?

 

[Knobgoblin]

These were for sale on the WA side .

A bunch of well used .30cal cans too.

Phhpptt….. everyone is too busy looking down at their stupid-a$$ smartphones (even while driving) and wouldn't even notice them.

 

[CamoDeafie]

NOt as epic as having these inert/training AT4 tubes strapped to the top of your vehicle

On a serious note though; these cases might be good for takedown/pioneer tools; tents, or even collapsible cots?

 

[Yarome]

Definately! Absolutely perfect for a rifle cache. Paint the exterior with liquid plastic, fill em with oil and silicone seal the door. Those would last for decades.... so long as you prepared the hole with drainage rock and anchored them to prevent ground water rise.

If you wanna get fancy, attaching a sacrificial anode will make then last even longer.

Wear Vietnam era fatigues at 1am in the morning with bright work lights and dig a hole in your front yard. How many of your neighbors would be scared to turn on their lights while they call the police?

 

[gmerkt]

Nice storage option. As to installing one on a vehicle, I wouldn't want the attention it might draw. I don't put anything on a vehicle that refers to firearms.

...and paint in big yellow letters


"Warning: Handle With Extreme Care"

 

[Yarome]

30 bones a pop sure seems like a steal. How much do you think the gooberment paid per unit for those??

It makes you wonder if some of them are coming back from overseas... used for ballast on returning supply ships.
