[Lindsaym151]

Hey Gun junkies!
Im starting a new project!
I am mounting a M4 ped with a A&k Air soft 60 in the rear . Did anyone rver put a side gun for passenger on the 151 series truck?
If so what caliber and how would they have mounted it?
Also need leads on NOT MADE OF GOLD m-60 cradle
Thanks Gentelmen!
When I get this one done I'll start the gun ring project on the M35a2!!!!

Evil, that is an awesome photo.
Is that an air tank in the back for the gun?
What ran out first, ammo or air?

Sorry, I don't have any info on that pic, it's just one I saved a while ago while looking for "period correct" vehicle mods.

just to help you my friend just got a field modification gun set up off a 151 which includes the pedestal along with twin 60 mounts on the dash with a thumper middle sec of dash also windshield had to be kept in down position because braces wetre run across the hood to keep the dash from being torn apart by all the recoil

Throw me a bucket! I gotta bail the brass out of this Bitch!

Here is a link for M60 platform mounts. http://www.cranetechnologiesinc.com/M60PlatformMount.html I bought a couple of them to use on some airsoft A&K M60's I have. I had to mod them a bit to work with the airsoft rifles but not too bad and could still be used with a real M60. I had to add a little bit extra to the front tab so that it would reach on the airsoft M60 and had to file a little material out where the pins lock in to fit the slightly wider receiver on the airsoft version. Because I was not using it for a restoration vehicle, I just made the pintle's for them. I did however stick one on my M715 to see how it looks compared to the M2 on a MK-23 mount I usually have on it.

Austin has M142 mounts for $275.00. That's a pretty good price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-M142-M...099?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eda2be7d3
