These 2nd hand Migs are widely available in the surplus market as most Eastern block & other former Soviet clients worldwide are trying to get rid of their junks any way they can.

Yup...we were best buds. We used to go gun collecting when everyone else went to the beach. Thats him on the quad 23mm.

We got in a lot of #### when we started TOWING stuff back to the base.... :shock:

 

[gunplumberr]

I saw that was him..thats why I said his name :lol: small world huh

Ya, What Gunplumberr said.

We found more than a few of these in running condition.Just really tricky to mail home piece piece...

 

[gunplumberr]

I'll scan the pics of the very nice condition T34/85 the troops had to watch over....recce of the board here was also over there .We were together in A Sqn RCD..he may have more pics also

here is a toy I loved BIGTIME a german MG1

 

[Gibbs505]

Now that looks like a ton of fun there!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Calum]

So just what is the official Can Forces policy on 'battle field pick-ups' these days?

I mean, so lets say you come accross a rear sight that will go nicely on your #4 Enfield at home...are you OK to mail it back, or pack it in your gear. 8)

 

[Klunk]

Ya...bits and pieces are no big thing.

Anything loaded (ammo/grenades/rockets/ bombs/aircraft) would cause a stir.

Even knives (bayonets) can be problematic

Little peices like sights and stuff just go unnoticed.

I mailed a load of stuff home from the gulf like uniforms/badges/insignia/radio parts. If its not a weapon yer good to go most times.

 

[gunplumberr]

scanned the pic of the tanks

all three were runners..all bombed up and ready to roll

the far right one is a T34

 

[Gibbs505]

Did you get one into your duffel bag? :?: :?: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[ollie]

is that a T34 at the end there? i would have found a really long snorkel, gone AWOL and driven it home

 

[gunplumberr]

all I got from that T34 was the heater..go figure
