Guest Stabsfeldwebel Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Was reading a book about american armor and saw a reference to a m25 with a 76mm gun. Anyone have any idea what this was? Couldn't find it in my armor books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Sounds like a typo. Probably ment M24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zigster Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 One of the vehicles in the Pershing development program was known as the T25. I don't have any more info on it. ------------------ Floreat Jerboa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teutonic Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 Zigster, The only mention I can find of the T25 is that it had a horizontal volute spring suspension and was very similar to the T26 which had a torsion bar suspension. The t26 was ordered because it had a better ride. Cannot find anything on an M25. ------------------ Teutonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zigster Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 I almost picked up Hunnicutt's history of the Pershing last week too. Couldn't justify the $150 Cdn. If someone has it, they can probably clarify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
