Window Modification

Post by pinztx »

Has anyone changed the windows on the 710k? I am going to use this for a hunting buggy and these windows don't open enough to shoot out of. I will not always have a co-pilot to shoot out the turret. Post pics if you are smart enough to do that. I haven't got that down yet.
Thank you,

Yes, never mix guns and alcohol. Your gun will get rusty!! Really, I go to West Texas Blue Quail hunting and sometimes you can get a shot out the window.

I am also looking for a Mule Deer lease in West Texas. You can shoot them from the buggy if you are on a private ranch. Not on a public road!!! If anyone knows of a good Mule Deer lease please contact me.

I always hate using my 12 Gauge Franchi Raptor in the drivers seat, the ejected shells bounce all over the front cab. My Citori on the other hand is fabulous.

Of course my 710K provides great visibility through the roof hatch and with a magnetic cup holder I can keep my beer from spilling all over the guns and the hatch opening prevents it from getting inside. I also don't need to drive when I'm up there. Driving, shooting and drinking adds up to too much excitement! Besides, the driver can hand me beers, that he hasn't drunk, while I'm up there.

:D
If you didn't get stuck, you didn't try hard enough.

If you guys have K's....then shouldn't the brass be dropping down from that roof hatch where your top cover guy is ??? :wink:

I, alas can only dream about that option here in the over-legislated, firearm-fearing land of Canada.

(You can't fire from a vehicle here either, and no matter how quietly you close that door....the odds of the game hearing you do it are directly proportional to how easy that shot would have been!!)

simple solution, take the tops of the doors off. Lots of room to see and shoot and no glass to worry about breaking.

There is of course this option

I am looking at putting a/c heat in it. That will let the air out.

I am going to take it to a antique car guy to see what he can do to put a/c in it.

Not a bad idea. You think you could run a long hinge on top of the bottom half. Do you think the door would still shut?

I think it would hang down too low and interfere with the steering. You can see what I mean on a TD.
