question Modern British Gun Mount

[happydayz123]

A friend of mine, bought an American wartime Halftrack recently, and this gun mount has attached to it. I know its a Post war British type. Any other info would be greatly appreciated. It's possibly going up for sale shortly.

Not so modern. A .30 Browning as fitted to Saladin and others. Looks in very good nick and you shouldn't have much trouble shifting it. I posted a picture of a White half track used by the LAD in my Regiment during the early seventies in Ireland, as I remember it had a similar mounting. It should still be on here somewhere.

So the pin in the middle slots into a special fitting, bearing or a bit of pipe?

 

What is something like that worth?

The item is upside down, the pin in the middle is the front mounting pin that goes through the front of the reciever and screws in place. The rear mounting pin is held in place by the lever with a cut out on it. No ide what it might be worth but it will sell

I was thinking it would suit my Acmat

 

Anyone got a parts manual for it as I is a visual person :nut:
