Could be a very interesting conversion

The crew enclosure looks like an old dumpster - LOL.

Very interesting idea...

Thanks for the photographs! Most interesting conversion...

How do you know it's Iranian? Captured by the Iraqis in the Iran-Iraq war perhaps.

Cheers,

Christophe

Gary's right - It is an M46 130 mm gun, not the 100mm BS-3. With all the other strange vehicles the Iraqi s had I would beleive this is theirs as well.

Great shots - my hard drive thanks you!

Thanks for the update on the gun it makes more sense to me too. As for the markings we could barely see them but it looked like an iranian flag on the side (red,white,green) think Iraq used black in their markings? I will ask my friend for more pics of the gun
