    Help needed chicken shield and riser

    Help needed chicken shield and riser

    I have Mk93’s available, they need pins. Sell the M23 mount, it won’t work on the setup you have, that was olden days of when they didn’t have chicken shields. Modern day uses small pintle for hmmwv’s on all the mounts.

    while not hmmwv, a lot of it can be used on a hmmwv, I would have take it apart and compare the bearing too an m1151, slam hatch mechanism looks to be same as m1151. I would need to compare the weapons tray also.

    The problem is getting the vin verification, you have none of the below that will make your truck pass Calif requirement. -50 state emissions compliance decal -FMVSS decal -no 17 digit vin DMV changed the VIN Ver form specifically to stop titleing former MV’s.
