Dragon Arms in Colorado also has the same tracks for the same price. I got a set from Gary a couple of years ago and finally put them on last year. They Isreali surplus from the 1990's, I think mine were made in 1994 and 1995. They are the newest ones you will find out there, at least right now. They are good tracks. Earlier this year someone was trying to buy the molds from Isreal, but I haven't heard any news about that since then.

I am too also looking to buy a set of new tracks.I called vector arms in utah,which there has been some debate over them and gary hebbing.The man at vector told me that they own the tracks that gary sells and that they pay him to broker the tracks for them.Vector arms said he had two sets in stock in utah, but only wanted to sell them to someone that was able to see them in person,they have small amount of weather cracking and did not want to ship them to someone, only to have them not like them and send them back.I then asked if he would sell them at a lower price and he said no,that it would be better for me to get a good set to order from gary.Which i have several deals in the works right now but all seem to not be going anywhere,so if diesel fuel prices come down and i can pay off some credit cards i will order a set from gary.I will also look into the dragon arms company,thanks for the help

I got my seat from Gary a few years back, they are nice and on the track. I am sure I will stop using my track before they ever wear out.

Beerman, I am sorry for the wrong information. I had talked to a local guy who was going to buy a set from him about 6 or 9 months ago. His website does show that he has some halftrack parts for sale. If he isn't selling anything anymore then he is the one who needs to update his add.

No harm done, i did not mean to complain.There is nothing more aggravating than calling a business and gettting to talk to someone that has know idea what they sell,and acks like a ass because your bothering them,when there in the business to sell stuff.The guy hung up on me before i could say thanks.
Went and looked at there website,has all sorts of vehicle parts for-sale.I should call him back and tell him to check his own website ,if he dosen't sell parts anymore.

I've tried dealing with the guy ("Dragonman") in the past; he's always had a real attitude problem with me. I suspect that he got a lot of MV parts and surplus stuff from the old Big 4 Auto Parts/surplus store in Pueblo, CO, when they closed down years ago. He's got a gun shop and range and puts on a machine gun event every year that, people in the know, stay a long way from. He's also involved in doing Harley engine work commercially but does not have a good reputation among MC folks that I know. He can act that way, I'll just spend my $ somewhere else. His bad rep. stretches from coast to coast.

I talked to dragon man about an MG mount. Was the rudest person I've talked to in a long time. I was going to apologize for interupting his day by trying to buy something from him, but after telling me I was stupid, he hung up too quickly.
I bought two sets of tracks from Vector a few years ago. Nice tracks with 1992 date on them.
