The Abbot series entered service in 1965 and became a large part of the inventories of the British & Indian armies.

What's the MPG of the sucker? I will buy one if shopping is free.
Is a rear view back up camera standard? Or is that extra $?
Once I have a compatible bump stock, y’all c what I can do！
It's a tank. For real. I know a couple people who have them. Get a class 3 and can use it. Dragon man in colorado springs has a 22lr gatling gun on his.
Not a tank. Artillery. What I really wanted to do was to laugh at the thought of a 22LR mounted on a tank. I sure hope that was sarcasm.
Where can I find a gun sock for this? I don’t want it getting scratched in the safe.
Forget about your AR'S. AK'S, Glocks,This all you need.
Abott....
Abbott crossed paths with Lou Costello in burlesque a few times in the early 1930s when Abbott was producing and performing in Minsky's Burlesque shows and Costello was a rising comic. They first worked together in stock burlesque in 1935 at the Eltinge Theatre on 42nd Street, after an illness sidelined Costello's regular partner.[8] They formally teamed up in 1936, and went on to perform together in burlesque, vaudeville, minstrel shows, and stage shows.[1]
In 1938, they received national exposure as regulars on the Kate Smith Hour radio show, which led to roles in a Broadway musical, The Streets of Paris. In 1940, Universal signed the team for their first film, One Night in the Tropics. Despite having minor roles, Abbott and Costello stole the film with several classic routines, including an abbreviated version of "Who's On First?"[6]
During World War II, Abbott and Costello were among the most popular and highest-paid stars in the world. Between 1940 and 1956 they made 36 films and earned a percentage of the profits on each.[6] They had their own radio program (The Abbott and Costello Show) throughout the 1940s, first on NBC from 1942 to 1947, and from 1947 to 1949 on ABC. In the 1950s, they introduced their comedy to live television on The Colgate Comedy Hour, and launched their own half-hour series, The Abbott and Costello Show.
Abbott was very supportive of his relatives. Norman and Betty Abbott, the children of Bud's older sister, Olive, started their careers working behind the scenes on Abbott and Costello films. Betty became Blake Edwards' longtime script supervisor, and Norman directed many television sitcoms, including the Jack Benny Show and Sanford and Son.
Wait a second.....wrong Abbot......my bad.
We know you don't have a wife simply by your user name. You wouldn't buy it anyway since it's not %50 plastic.
I'll have to part with my LCP and this will be my new EDC. Hmmm... think it might print a little.
I was game until I asked my HOA. They said if it was American made I could have gotten it. Oh well maybe I’ll buy a space shuttle instead.
It's all fun and games until your banned from the McDonald's drive thru for taking out the intercom...
Asked the boss......and the wife said no.....putting it nicely!
Screw that. If it was FDE i’d be all over this.
Curious- is this for Sig or Glock fan boys?
Bought one and had it air dropped to my house. Landed in my neighbor’s yard. Also, was not gassed up. I use mine for rabbit hunting. Sights may not zeroed, as I seem to always miss.(no evidence that I hit the intended bunny rabbit) Great little plinker and my daily driver!
Is this the new gen 5 every one is talking about?
Few more questions.... Gps? heated seats? XM radio? Back up camera?
If I buy this do I need to have it shipped to a FFL? Is shipping free?
How hard is it to swap the barrel with a 300 blackout for deer hunting?
Bargain! I'm sure the Rolls Royce motor can be serviced at any local Goodwrench shop, too!
Edit: It doesn't have Bluetooth. Fuck that; I'm out.
To a Collecter,,, maybe,,, Perhaps a Museum,,,
More info on the Abbot,,,

British Army - 146 received for use by Royal Artillery regiments (1965–95)
Indian Army - 80 currently in service in the Regiment of Artillery (including 68 Value Engineered Abbots received in the 1960s)

Since decommissioning from British Army service, Abbots have become popular for "tank-driving" adventures, proving much more economical to buy and run than the genuine article.
The comedian Ross Noble revealed on the 3 July 2011 edition of BBC motoring show Top Gear that he owns and operates an FV433. He also provided the interesting fact that the vehicle is exempt from the London congestion charge.
The vehicle is used in the TV series Gary: Tank Commander from BBC Scotland as the "Tank".
The vehicle was also used in the final episode of British TV series, Spaced.
US National Guard forces deploy two Abbots on the Gotham City bridge during a standoff with Bane's mercenaries in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises.
I hear these things really cut down on instances of perceived road rage.
You'll need the CA compliant EGR kit to get it to pass smog.
Does this need to be shipped to my local FFL?
Given that the gun won’t fire, I’m guessing you can have it delivered straight to your home. Let us know what the shipping fees are.
C & R.......UPS will deliver straight to your cave.
I don’t see any problem wiring this company $69,000.00 or so to buy something I’ve only seen a picture of and a car salesman pitch.
When Oprah gets elected these will be banned. Better buy them now while they're still affordable!
Does this have to go through my FFL or can I just have it shipped to my house? Also, what holsters work with this??
Do they accept bitcoin?
