Subject: [MV] M2 MG parts info wanted
Some of you guys that have 50 cal. M2s mounted on your trucks...
What's the going price for pintle mounts and for the traversing and
elevating mechanisms nowadays? There's one of each on ebay (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2233827481&category=588 )
and I'd like to know what they are likely to go for.
Thanks,
