I saw a picture of a soft top on an m939 with a removable round piece but the gun mount was an external ring.

This is not what the armys hatch but Here is what I did for a hatch. It was a sliding hatch for an LVS. Then I epoxyed 1/2" of structural foam and a layer of fiberglass on the bottom of the roof. My top now has the perfect original crown an I can stand on it with out it denting or collapsing

The first deuce I bought had a "Red Neck Gun Ring Cutout" made from a 55 gallon drum with the removable ring top. Looked like crap but it worked. If I can find the pics I'll post them.

I have a M923 with the gunner hole in the hardtop and what looks like issued cover, if you need measurements or pics let me know, if I can find any numbers I'll take a look if requested. Mine had half an antenna holding it up to keep rain from puddling.

at this point you will probably have to fabricate it as they are near impossible to get at this point. I have one hatch / slider frame I would possibly part with but there would be quite a bit of custom fabrication.

This is for the M900 series.

That opening is not a M900 series part although it looks like it would work good. That hatch actually is for the HEMTT.

I assumed it was for the M900 because it was laying the roof of a M900 series. I would like to find one for myself to install on the roof of a M35.

RDUKW can you post some more pictures of your top please. I was going to use the gunner hole from my soft top in the hard top but that hatch you used is more like I want.
