That clamp pic is all wrong. It is the right clamp just put together wrong. I will send pics and tm info. The TM 9-1005-245-14 feb 73

Well I finally found a barrel clamp. It showed up on ebay and I was determined to get it. It showed up today, so after some paint, on it went !

Very nice! Mine clamp was all backwards too like the one in the pics above. Hoping to get a Bismarck Guns M2HB .50 sim-fire this spring! Still need to buy my M23 Equalibrator cradle just need some 'disposable' funds. It's hard to explain to the wife that you need a machine gun setup for your machine gun turret for your army truck .

Aha so it only bolts to one side. I was wondering if there was an adapter of some sort . So, any one have a good reason for there to two places to mount the holder? There was one on egay a couple of days ago that went for at least 110.00 that was last bid I saw.
