I would say the three blanks and links were use for training on the m85 M G 50 cal. that was on m60 tanks Also all the blanks we use in the 1980 and later were crimped. The ww2 blank and links should work on the m2hb 50 cal but the later blank were crimped

Veterans day is coming up, we will ride the veterans in the veteran day parade, I got 3 halftracks we use for the parade. So all you veterans get of your duffel bag and enjoy veteran day.

while I was in South Korea, We were flying a general one day. We were flying over this large mountain, when on top, I seen the river below us, also a Blackhawk flying up the river. They turn and headed up the mountain at us. Well I thought surely all the pilots see each other. I sat there like a dumb azz and said nothing. The Blackhawk was getting closer and closer, first thing I knew it was right in our face, That struck fear in my heart, I hit the mike key. I yelled Bart , Blackhawk right in front of you, He throw the huey a hard right, The Blackhawk went hard right, We were a second from hit each other. Bart the pilot yelled back dam Wendell you got good eyes. Every time I think of how we almost died, because I sat there like a dumb azz, I should have told the pilots about the other aircraft. I though sure they seen it. Also while I was there two cobra,s on a mountain top almost hit us, and another time A,10 almost hit us.
