Iys hard to tell the old m-1 what version it is, i think that is post vietnam pot, the nam issue pot joined at the back, also the camo sort of gives it away, also I see no scrim band, probably mid 80s, i cant see the 16 well enough to see if its an a-1, i think its an a2 version,

Just outside of Branson, MO there's a huge collection of military vehicles on display. Took a guided tour of that complex, with full narration, while riding on a "duck", along with a bunch of other tourists. Then we "drove" across Table Rock Lake in southern Missouri. It moved just like a boat with those tires paddling like ducks. I think there was a screw turning which did the propelling.
Been there about half a dozen times. Each time they've added a whole lot of new very intertaining shows. Haven't seen a bad one yet. Biggest problem...too much vehicular traffic! They're working on it fast and furious with new expressways all around and through Branson.
There's plenty of reasonably priced motels and good places to eat, too. Plus, go-carts, museums, Silver Dollar City, historical railroad museum, and it's all located close to Table Rock Lake where there's plenty of other amenities, and more.
It's the kind of place you need to visit several times because of it's size. :right:
