We are pretty fortunate here in the USA to still be able to own live machine guns, mortars and artillery pieces. Anti-gun organizations are always trying to change this though and they also have a dislike of armoured vehicles being privately owned.
It’s nice to be able to restore these weapons related items while we can though. They go with the carriers and help to round out the presentation while preserving the history. Course like the carriers, there are few lightweight parts. Makes it a real challenge when it comes time to cleaning it after a weekend of live firing.
