Re: T-34s for sale [TANKS]

Yes, that is this weekend. I had no problems with the
rally related links. 

There is a gent on the mil-veh list from Ukrane that
is part of a battlefied recovery group and he talks
about people being scammed all the time.

Interesting stuff and he had some interesting things
to say about the company that was mentioned in that
article. 

Most of this stuff has to be demilled and imported on
a BATF Form6 and what you can import is limited by the
Significant Miltary Equipment list maintained by the
State Department. 

Not sure if you heard about the flap when Mr
Littlefield imported a working Scud missle launcher.
Seems like the exporter forgot to demilitarise the
thing and customs was not happy.
