Is it possible to own a fully functional tank?

[Mojo-jo-jo]

Here's one. I hear that the guy that owns this found the bottom hull in Israel; it was being used as a burn bin at an IDF ammo dump. I don't recall where the turret came from. He and some friends did the restoration themselves--he has experience in industrial metal fabrication.

All of his weapons are as-issued spec, including the main gun (DD paperwork) and full-auto M2 with blank adapter. He fires blank rounds in both for re-enactments. No propane guns here!

He also has several other military vehicles.
