If you saw the M416 that was on the GovLiquidation site at the Ft. Sam Houston Army base in San Antonio, I brought it home today. First, the 3 page EUC form is easy to fill out if you use their online version that walks you through it. I had to make a couple of changes after submitting it to meet their criteria, but after that it only took a week and a half to get a letter from them saying the received my application, and a few days after that I got an email saying my purchase had been approved and the 10 day window to pick it up was active. That location only allows pick-ups Monday thru Thursday from 7AM to 2PM so plan on taking a day off from work. They tell you to have ID, insurance on the vehicle picking it up, and your registration. Well, I went thru the commercial gate behind a Monster Energy and a Fritos truck, and the security guard just looked at my ID and the invoice for the trailer and gave me better directions than what was on the website. It was much easier to get on the base than expected and very fast, and they did not inspect my vehicle either so I could have left the Beretta in it's hiding spot. 
The spare wheels & tires were hiding a fist sized hole in the front of the tub. Here's some photos for now, and I'll post more after I get time to break it down for sand blasting, powder coating, and paint. I'll have to get all new tires since all 3are dry rotted, and since I plan on using it with my Tundra occasionally I will stay with the military style wheels and tires instead of changing out the axle like some have done so it will have the 6x5.5 pattern. Anybody need a 7.5x16 wheel and tire for their John Deere tractor?? And no, it is not the same lug pattern as our LC's
