Derk.
Mark my words Derk, you will regret not having bought one of these. Soon they will all be gone.

Over the years Derk and I have propelled each other on to buy stranger and stranger things. I must say I am amazed at some of his willpower these days.

Rob,
It was great to be able to play a small part in this great project of yours. I know that you will find the missing pieces of the puzzle. You do know when not to say wow in a mud hole! Good luck on the completion of it. Show us a few pictures of the rebuild from time to time.
Good luck with it, and stay healthy and safe over there.
Doug

Doug
Yours was no small part. I had known about some of the pieces of the 105s sitting in the scrapyard for about a decade or more. It wasn't until you found those recoil mechs that I got motivated enough to go digging deeper. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I did find.

As an example of my obsessive collecting, after I had unloaded the trailer and truck of the new found goodies, I went to clean out the back seat of the truck. In there I found a brand new u-joint for the elevation shaft which had been hiding under the back seat for about a year now.
