There is a strong possibility that the Patton Museum will have a restored M50A1
out there next time. Sim-fire 106's (useing a blank 105 case I think...maybe a
75mm, I forget which) are being worked on. they dropped the engine and XT-90 in
a while ago, upper hull should be going on soon.

The plan is to fire all six at least once.
