As far as stowage what we wound up doing was attaching 4 40mm cans to our bustle for POL and what have you, not to mention a bustle rack extension next to the APU sized just right for four duffles. Took forever to load us up as the entire troop was packrats.

LOL, always wondered if they would develop a canister when they switched to smoothbore!

As for the storage...I date back to when you had that silly web strap hanging off the back of the turret...when the extension came out on the IPM1, there were several beers hoisted at the NCO club to that unnamed warrant officer!!!

Yeah, we called it our 9th gauge. But the extensions was attached to the extended bustle, by the time you figured in the ammo can bins, it covered all of the rear deck.

Just me, but I never liked having too much gear hanging of the back and sides of the turret...but then I was the tank that always had to cover the alley or have to bust bush and that junk got torn off quick!
