125LAA Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ladies and Gents, I am looking for a gun mount for my replica 30 cal. I have a replica pedestal but I would like a original mount instead of the replica mount I have at present. Is there anybody out there whose got one for sale? Thanks. Steve H.

Chris Hall Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 To mount to what? Or do you mean the M2 tripod, tons of them about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hall Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 You may have to be more specific as Pintle refers to a lot of different mounts. The basic pintle is the small piece that bolts to the .50 M2 or the .30 1917 to 1919 series (and M60). Then there's the 1917A1 mount usually seen on the 1917a1 tripod but is also fitted to the pedestal mount and with a different attachment spigot fitted to Halftracks and Tanks (Stuart?). Then there's the 30/50 cradle mount for the M31 or the M23 etc. take a look here http://www.bmgparts.com/mount.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame. What I am looking for is a short pintle for my Jeep which support both front and rear pin fixings with a Ammo can bracket fixing. Does that help?

MB1944 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi You need to make sure that the socket in the replica pedestal has been machined to the correct size to take the spigot of an original mount. Otherwise it is a lot to pay out for something that won't fit.:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long & Short, you will NEED to know the depth of your pedestal socket. To ensure you select the correct type! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
