Hi All:
I am starting this thread specifically for the M36 / M49 machine gun ring, as will be installed on my 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2.
I understand they were installed in military units, but I have not seen proof.
This ring weighs about 80-90 pounds, which makes it MUCH lighter than the M66 model; additionally, it was designed to support the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, so it is an ideal model to install when trying to avoid damaging the cab.
Some of the material I will be posting I had previously posted in a thread dealing with installing an M66 ring; I realized after several posts that that was highjacking the thread, so I stopped posting that info there.
Apologies,
-Ken
