So once again it's time for a dumb Grumpy question.....

If I want to do a pre-SLEP LAV, I use 18 Bravo's mount, and if I want to do a SLEPed, I use Gino's.... but the weapon's the same? But both will use the Fluted main gun barrel.

Well, might as well slip a second dumb question in while I'm at it......
2nd really dumb question---
When did they start SLEPing them? Date wise.......

Hello Dave,
I work at the plant that does the LAV Turret Development work for all LAV Variants to include the Stryker (retired from the Marines now), and the 2nd picture by bravo is the correct version for the SLEP (commanders position ) version as it leaves the plant. I can tell you that there are other mounts out there especially for the Marines. The Scissors mount is produced by another company and an add-on that the Marine Corps adds on its own. The Slep program for the LAV series of vehicles finished last summer, not exactly sure of the date. We are currently in the process of updating the Marine Corps LAV turrets to a new configuration that will give the super detailers and after market guys plenty to drool after.
