My M2A3 photos are posted in a walkaround in the photo gallery now. If anybody has questions about any of the photos or needs a different area of the A3 let me know and I will try to get it!

Excellent photos! Wonder if you could get a couple details shots of the square tube/bar 'dealy' that sticks out behind the driver's hatch - to show how/where it's attached. Some sort of support for extra armour? Also hull sides underneath the turret area and between the armour package.

Thanks,
Jim

Junglejim,
Thanks, I will get some more pictures as soon as I can get out and get them. I am not sure what bars you are talking about, I will look into it for you.

I think it's a new hinge mechanism for the driver's hatch shown on some M2A2s in OIF.

When you get a chance can you take more photos of the CITV thats on the turret?

Thanks!

Scott,
Are you talking about the Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV), on top of turret with 360 degree traverse?
