there some 3000 m1 tanks sitting in utah never touched. General Dynamics or who ever make them now have a fixed price contract for x number a year. Only problem is they are delivered ungraded and are never used. We just strip them part for tanks already upgraded. The reason for this we can not do the upgrades our self so we cannibalize brand new tanks to keep the ones we are allowed to work on running.
