Continuing the front shots and the barrel. Tried to get a shot of the rifling. Had to really bring up the brightness to show it which is why the picture looks a little washed out.

Climbed the slope to try and get overhead shots. Gotta love the flag flying from the antenna. Note the side box stencil: "WARNING AFTER NBC ATTACK AIR CLEANER MUST BE SERVICED BY NBC PROTECTION EQUIPPED PERSONNEL".
