A good source for armament and accessories is " SHOTGUN NEWS " It is published three times a month and has a machine gun issue once a month or so. Chock full of weapons and accessories and adds from beau coup dealers and manufacturers of both real and replica arms and surplus goods. It can be found at almost all gun shops and they might give/sell you back issues. Last years price was $28.95 for 1 year/36 issues. They can be reached at <shotgun@nebland.cnweb.com> or (402) 463-4589. Lots of neat stuff. I have seen M2 and M3 machine gun vehicle mounts for half tracks and ring mounts for deuce and a halfs in it. Great throne room reading. Good Luck.

First the turn signal unit, which I removed from the steering column to paint the jeep, did not have a good ground as a result of the new paint job. Then under the dash, the cannon plug on the blinker module had come loose and was vibrated back all but one turn of the threads. So a little bit of tightening up and the whole thing works very well.

I have the installation guideline from Portrayal Press, but sometimes folks learn a few things that the books do not tell. Let me know if you do, please. The M-60 comes just a little later, and let me tell you, the folks at Rock Island Arsenal are real nice folks. Answered all my pesky questions and sounded genuinely glad to talk to me. I have seen one of their finished M-60's and they are quite good. I am looking for the pintal mount for this gun, if anybody has any leads, I would sure like to hear about it.

I would really like to have a size large if possible. If anybody on the list knows of one, please let me know. I already tried Riv-Rad with his ad, but it was gone, so any suggestions?
