MG42 ring mount on my Deuce

[pdstout]

Guys I know this may look crazy, but I saved about $800.00 dollars. I did not think it would work, but after a little adjustment it did. I did not even have to make new mounting plates. Here are a couple of pitcures. I will get one of my MG42s on top and take a few more pitcures. I am not cheap just poor.

Looks Great! I've got one of those ringmounts, but no mounting brackets.

"One of your MG42s"? You are NOT poor

Nice mount.

Could one of these be used with a 1919?

That's what I bought mine for, as I have a 1919. But I have yet to see if I can work it out.

I have purchased one of these rings also. I am going to use it as a ring mount in a modified M1009 top. Thats at least a couple of projects down the road. I have a MG42 they are very scary and give you a great deal of respect for our G.I.s that had to face them down. If you don't have one (mg42) it would be pretty simple to modify it to mount other M.G.'s, M60, 1919 semi's etc. Not nearly heavy enough IMHO for a 50 bmg. Chris

Nice mount.

That's what I was thinking . Unless he's a class three dealer and has post samples. He would still have to have a PD offer to demo a MG42 but I have seen it done .

 

[TexAndy]

which legs are those?

More pitcures Of the MG42 ring mount.

Guys, here are a few more pitcures. I hope to get some video of the 42 firing from the mount.

Pure win. Now I understand with the 07 SOT

Glad to see RKBA is appreciated here.

Are there any drawings of the mounting legs out there?

They *look* like the M66 legs to me, but I'm curious to know as well.

 

[pdstout]

The legs are M66. They were on the Deuce when I got it from Red Stone. I just moved the legs to fit the smaller MG42 ring.

Looks cool the MG42 should be a lot of fun off the ring. Put a fortress belt in it, and you can be as bad as you want to be. After seeing your pictures I am going to have to do something with my ring now. Chris

 

[dallasfromdallas]

That is awesome!!! Anyone know where I could get some of those M66 legs? I'm getting my first deuce soon and would love to outfit it as such.

 

[mkcoen]

I'd be interested in where to get the legs and the actual ring mount. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like a measured drawing of the legs posted either.

RTG parts has them.

Thank you sir....that may be the ticket for a mount for my F-150. Looks nice and light.

I just wonder if I can rig it to work with my MG-34?
