Help with M1 Abrams turret

That’s too bad, Richard. Keep us updated on how your project is going.

I’m curious what you meant by OG M1.

Original Gangster :sunglasses::+1: The first fielded version, I assume, lol

There’s your answer.

That’s exactly what I meant when I originally posted it. But then I got to thinking, I wonder if he thought I meant Olive Green? Good on both of you for getting it.

Thank you for posting these, and all on this thread. On the antenna’s, there are 2 different mounts? I am working on the Panda M1 so these pictures are very helpful.

One is for the actual radio and the other is for the receiver, basically this set up with a VIC-1 intercom system. Shorter antenna is the receiver, longer is the radio

Only command tanks would have the two antennas.

Nice Pictures.Thanks for posting.

It’s actually called Forest Green according to the field manual.

OG = Original Gansta
