Hello all,
Posted below are pictures of two turret / machine guns for the mobat. I pulled the non enclosed one off a mobat that had solid treads and the enclosed one off of a mobat with notches in the treads. The non enclosed one is not broke and is the same color as the tank. Anyone have any ideas???

My guess is one is not any more valuable than the other, just more than 1 mold was used, and they weren't quite the same. Perhaps one mold was damaged and the other style was the solution to the how do we save the mold by modifying it, and still have the piece stay on. I totally apriciate seeing this as I have not seen the open type before. You learn something new about GI Joe every day.

I don't know if it helps at all, but mine looks like the one on the left. It is from my Mobat I've had since I got it new as a kid, stamped 1982 on the bottom. Also, the treads on mine are solid, no notch.

Good well at least I am not confused anymore. I just couldn't find any info on it.
The opened one I got today in a nice lot off craigslist and I found it on a solid tread mobat that didn't work so I took the gun off and added it to my huge pile I got. I will post pics later in the hauls thread.
