That's super neat Kevin! I wonder why they wanted the two pieces extruded separately and then welded... are they too large to be made as one or would that long of a vertical web make it difficult to keep tolerance?

tjsahara00:
Their to big to be extruded as one.
Together they would be 29'' wide.
The biggest billet we can extrude is a 29" round billet.
That would be out side the circle size that could be ran.
 

We have the largest extrusion press in the world still in production.

Supposedly there is one slightly larger in Russia but does not run anymore.

Scott F.:
That's cool @tjsahara00

The M2 Bradley was my daily driver/overlander 😆 for most of my time in the Army.

Glad they are getting rid of the M113 APC's finally.  They have been in use since Vietnam.
