SURPLUS MILITARY VEHICLES GEN

I'm slowly saving to get a BRDM. I know it will suck up fuel like a monster but I still want it.

Where are you looking at? Are you in the US?

There's a Czech surplus vehicle store that has one for as much as 2nd hand spots saloon. And I am in Romania.

There’s an m37 truck for sale in ohio near Akron.

Nice, I bet you have access to all the good shit out there.

There's a guy in Fort Mac with a main battle tank in his house garage. You would be very surprised what milsurp is in Canada.

I saw a guy with a pig in his driveway once while I was working. (Best guess anyway).
Can’t remember what street it was though. I went back and I’ve never seen it since.

I really want a BRDM or BTR. My family owns lake property. You guys think the ones for sale are in good enough condition to be amphibious still?

My dream is to take a BRDM on the lake and fish from it.

Beep Beep!

I WANT IT.

Hopefully it's in a nato country.

Geez, these things are cheap.

It's in the Czech republic, you need like a 1k license to ship it + overseas shipping costs and trucking it overland. All that shouldn't come out to more than 20k ish total for the thing, which is pretty reasonable.

noice

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea to cop some milsurp vehicles but you also have to consider the maintenance of it

How much would a T-72 be? Base cost is 140K

>tfw the britbong T-80U with less than 40km on the odometer went for 100K USD
don't buy the 72

As I mentioned in there’s a priority list for who gets dibs when the military decides to get rid of old equipment. Some of it can be pretty impressive, like pic related, which was given to the California Department of Forestry by the Army for use fighting forest fires. These days, not much will end up in the surplus market, unfortunately, because a lot gets snapped up by state, county, and local governments, who have higher priority on the dibs list than you do. The best you’re probably going to do these days is getting your hands on an old CUCV - stuff like old M113s are going to end up with local police departments with DARE painted on the side, and will be used in no-knock raids which bust down the door of the town stoner for having a half-dozen wilted marijuana plants in his backyard.

>CUCV
thanks for reminding me that that thing is the ugliest piece of equipment the DoD ever procured, even beats the gama goat.

Dodge M37s and Jeep M38As are the best of all worlds: Better handlers than WWII WCs and Jeeps, less expensive, more common, and dirt simple to work on.

If I figure out how (and if its even legal) i wanna get my hands on a BTR. probs BTR-70

I had a m1008 cucv. It was hot and noisy, but was a good fence building work truck.

Impossible to maintain by yourself

BTR-80 is the real good shit tho.

Ever buy a Russian tractor? A pain in the ass if you are in North America. No parts no fittings match etc.. unless you are rich like Tony Stark stay away from Russian military surplus. One philosophy of the Russians export model are built on is you have to keep coming back for spare parts. Meanwhile most Euro and US made military equipment the stuff to keep them running is easy to get and they are built for more operating lifetime. MTBF for Soviet era engines are about a quarter of their western counterparts.

It's not the first time I've checked. Other than buying foreign and having a tussle with the Crown over the legality of having this or that item, not to mention getting something like that shipped here, the misurp scene in Canada is completely apparel and gun centered.

>9 years ago
>driving through Bumfuck Oklahoma
>see a m113 or so I thought on the side of the road
>turn around and investigate
>it was a Brit fv432
>seller cranked it and drive it around a minute
>guy wanted $8k for it
>only had $4k in my bank account and was working at a call center so my check was horrible anyway
>thanked him and drove away
>still think about it and get sad sometimes

Yeah, but I can't seem to find any T-80s for sale. Know where can I find one?

Ive always wondered about getting a gaz 66 and shoehorning a modern engine in it. Like get a totaled silverado with a good engine/transmission and throw that bitch in there. I know its more than just a swap. You'd need to route stuff and make your own mounts. I think someone did something like that with a M113.

That would be fucking badass. Sounds like something airsoft larpers would pay a lot to rent.

you guys have good access to m135 trucks if you like deuce and halfs. if I was in leafistan I'd just buy a nodwell anyway.

are there any good forums for discussing military vehicles? steelsoldiers and g503 are full of fudds and nothing ever happens on hmvf.

It weighs over 40 tons and doesn't fit into a shipping container, the shipping fees alone would prob. go well over $10k...
If you're in Burgerland, buy a surplus burger tank. There should be M60s available.

If you're really serious and want some guarantee of delivery, try contacting some russian arms exporters, most of them don't have the 'we only sell to governments' policy that western exporters do. Bit pricier probably, but I'd say it's worth it considering you immediately also have connections for spare parts (you will fucking need spare parts, military equipment is entropy in motion).

Also bonus, it's a gas turbine, meaning that it will gobble more fuel than Jow Forums does combined on a saturday night.

not everyone is burger here, in metric countries it's relatively easy to use normal car/truck o-ring seals on soviet equipment.

this. try to buy shit that's on the same land mass whenever possible when it comes to heavy equipment. Also transporting heavy equipment can be a pain in the ass, especially in european countries like france. Volunteered for helping out with clearing some trees on the roads to the Overloon was museum because the Tiger II on its flatbed transporter was too wide. Talked to some of the dudes doing administration for an upcoming event featuring that thing, and transporting a Tiger II from Saumur to Overloon required going through about 24 different small french towns, each requiring a different permit to transport the vehicle through. If I remember correctly the total amount of permit that required issuing was 53 total.

>the total amount of permit that required issuing was 53 total.
I will not even try to make a joke about that

the joke would be France and The Netherlands' archaic weapon, heavy vehicle, cargo, import/export, and armor laws.

You should totally buy some russian vehicles.
Hollywood will soon be in for authentic hardware for all the Red Dawn clones.

You mean the fact that both nations are jokes.

yeah, the only decent thing here in swamp germany is that getting a collector's license to own machine gats isn't nearly as hard as getting an FFL/Dealer Status to own post 86 machine gats in the states.

Can you also shoot them?

>Any processes
So long as the weapons don't work, or you have a license for it, and its road certified it should be perfectly legal

didn't a guy manage to assemble a working Viper out of surplus part sales when the government was selling them off?

>ne philosophy of the Russians export model are built on is you have to keep coming back for spare parts. Meanwhile most Euro and US made military equipment the stuff to keep them running is easy to get and they are built for more operating lifetime.
Australia is retiring their Tiger attack helicopters after just 10 years of service of the impossibility of keeping them operational due to the logistical tail of having to order everything all the way from Europe means they can never keep the fleet flight worthy
Older equipment might have been built to last but not these days

My neighbor owns an ypr 765 with turret (demilled)

demil laws are really shit in the netherlands, but they're not german-tier where you need to make about 70 holes the size of A2 paper in the armor. I hope that Mastermilo dude won't suffer from the same archaic laws that require that the turret drive must be locked, and that the gun must have 3 holes in the barrel the same size as the caliber it fires. Like seriously most infantry portable weapons can pen up to 600mm of armor nowadays, that Type-69 barely goes above 180 on the turret front.

iirc you can still register cannons as class II firearms if you're a registered collector. Firing is a different story as over 95% of ranges in my country are indoors, and no civilian range goes beyond about 100-200 meters. I believe there is currently only one club that's allowed to use the military artillery range for their purposes, but the only way to join is to have an active relative in the armed forces, or be active in the armed forces yourself (combat roles only)

>the guns deactivated
I don't think that's a federal requirement.

BuMP-1 for interest.
