    Thanks so much Droshki......I have got to learn how to do that....

    Since I still have the screenshots from the last time I explained it:

    Click here:

    click here.JPG

    That will spawn this window:

    insert image.JPG

    Hit "Computer" Then "choose file", then navigate to where your pic is on your computer or phone. Alternately, click "From URL" and paste in your web address. After a pause it does it thing, then hit "Upload file".

    The single most problem is oversize files,.. If your upload fails, that's almost certainly why. Here are the file size limits:

    file size limits.JPG



    NOTE 1) all of the above directions are for the full site, not the mobile site. If youre on the mobile site, I would scroll to the bottom of the page and click:

    full site.JPG




    NOTE 2). If your file size is to big, either text it to yourself, or Go here and download a free copy of Vueprint. This lets you resize, flip, mirror, etc. I have been using this program since the 90s. Its safe and easy.

    You can do it from your phone. It looks just about the same. Might have some trouble seeing it all at once, and have to slide around a little, but its just about the same.

    Just remember if you got the pics via text, they've already been compressed and you're good to go. If they were just taken with the phone camera (everyone's camera resolution is set way higher then necessary), compress them by texting them to yourself and saving them.

    Or you can just text them to me again. I don't mind helping. I look at it as part of being a forum member :)

    you just email them to yourself from the phone then do what you want with them...I will give you $10 for the dummy. I will need a release from Ft Knox or the army that it is legal to sell said round

    I have been doing more research.The dummy rounds are all over the place even on Gunbroker etc.....The Stamped Dummy Rounds are open to sell....It's the Live or Once Live rounds that are restricted.

    I have seen them sell on CDVS for around 300 for the sabot and dart. I have a few darts. You can usually find the 105mm brass they are pretty common. I am a big collector of this stuff but not interested in the dummy sabot at all.

    You're a fortunate guy. But I recognize that's almost certainly the result of hard work :)

    Yes been collecting for years and years and I have alot of stuff. Some was given to me, some I bought and I do alot of restoring myself. I posted some pics on here before but probably not on here anymore because I dumped that retarded site Photobucket and stated over.

    Looks like a sabot round...While I’m not a artillaryman, working on a AFSOC base on gunships...I get to see the 105mm artilery guns they shoot often. Managed to get a shell casing fRom a retired USAF co-worker. Something for my grandsons to polish with duraglit if they ever piss off thier Pa-pa, they’re too young for that now at 8 and 6 yrs old.
