I had thought of that but for the purpose I'm wanting it for wouldnt be ideal.If you want a hard top and a ring mount but don't want to cut the hole you can do this.
Rotate the ring all the way to where the pintle for the MG is at the rear of the mount, lock it in place and you can fire standing in the bed.
We used to do this when we were firing off 5 tons and didn't want to remove the soft top.
Unless you have the backing plate inside the cab you prob don't want to fire a .50 cal off your truck very much...it can litteraly rip the cab apart.
I'm not sure how many folks acutally own a "Ma Deuce", ring mount and truck to mount them on but I gonna venture that it ain't too many. You can fire other weapons off the ring mount if you have the hardware to mount them.
I have a duece, a ring mount but am missing the .50 Cal........anybody got a loaner????![]()
My goal is to put a full metal M60 airsoft gun on the cradle. Its cheap, iconic, and deadly in airsoft, and it doesnt look half bad in pictures either.Mmmmm, possum burger. Got the mounts for the M60 and the Mini gun, just need to figure out the power plug for the Mini. I know it can be done, just haven't looked at it close yet.
Do you have any pictures you could show us? I ran across some of WM's older posts mentioning this mod.the 55 gallon drum mod is probably the best bet.
take an opentop drum with a lit mounted to it and cut the top 1" off the drum. weld the ring to the hard top then remove the lid and cut out the hole in the roof. then pick from a variety of available drum lids.
that way when you don't plan to use it at all you can atleast use a nice gasketed drum lid that will never leak.
