I believe it to be a straight M4 due to the way that the driver and
co-driver hatches look. It is a welded hull and in front of the left
and right hatches there are vision hatches with thick covers that can be
raised to see without the parascope. The mantlet is missing and it
needs a new one. The rest of the tank is in great shape. Let me know
what you think, I'm going to try to get in touch with the person in
charge of it tommorrow. Also what paperwork should i ask for to prove
ownership of it? Due to the recent events. thanks jason
