Anyway, I can get all the pintle and shield mounts. Just not the shield. So here is my question. If I were to buy some steel and...

    HMMWV Turret Shield

    Does anybody have a source for an HMMWV turret shield? The going price seems to be about $1K, but I have seen them selling (not sold) for more.
