The Berlin brigade converted some FV432's by adding 30mm cannon turrets from fox armoured cars.
The principle could apply to American M113's perhaps? Put on a bradley or LAV turret maybe?

The weapons being suggested were everything from 20mm autocannon up to soft-recoil 90mm. I believe the Egyptians had a plan to mount a Bradley turret on a lengthened M113 but it never went into production (was given the rather generic name Egyptian Infantry Fighting Vehicle if I remember...)

It's Alive!
IIRC, there's an M113 with a LAV turret in the US Army Vehicle Guide.

Throw the LAV-25's proposed TOW sidesaddle mount on there and it's... still not a Bradley, but definitely closer to one in capability. - C.

How close do the turret rings of the Bradey and the LAV-25 measure up?

I haven't found the turret ring diameter of the LAV-25 (but I haven't really searched for the info either) but according to one site I've visited a few times, the Bradley turret ring diameter is 150cm.
Does anyone have the the diameter for the LAV-25 so we can compare the two? Information source http://afvdb.50megs.com/ Specifically this page for the Bradley http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m3bradley.html#M3

The M2 Bradley has a turret ring of 150cm (60"). Having a bit of trouble finding info on turret ring dimension of the LAV-25, LAV II, ASLAV or any related vehicle though, but I'm thinking it would have to be similar.
