MV List,
Okay, so I found a good .30 cal (Thanks to this wonderful list), but when it comes to mounts, I don't know which to get, since there seems to be two options...
Pedestal Mount, Jeep.
M4 Jeep Pedestal Assembly, Includes Ten Inch Riser and two Support Brackets, OD Green, 44" Tall. US GI, NOS Condition.
Pedestal Mount, Jeep.
M31C Jeep Pedestal Mount, with Support Cross Members, 37" tall, 65 pounds. New Condition.
So which is correct for a '52 M38A1? I searched for hours through reference material and website to no answer. Is one for a .30 and the other for a .50? I though the mounting systems were interchangeable between the two calibers. Maybe one of these mounts is for the MB/GPW?
...And the only source I found that is selling mounts, has NOS ones in flawless condition at a high price. For my uses, I don't want a flawless mount. nor do I want to spend $700 on a metal tube to hold up a gun. I'll leave that for someone doing a flawless restoration. Anyone know where I can get a used or 'good' condition MG mount?
Thanks,
Aaron Horrocks
