Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
For $ 10 to paint its rim.Trivial, but I could not resist. Made out of aluminum and pretty good quality. Besides, what can you add to your Truck for less than $10 shipped? LOLView attachment 852818
Is that an electric fuel pump? 24volt?Not saying I will never have any fuel problems but I will never have to mess with that POC mechanical pump OR that POS fuel filter ever again on the Detroit!

I trimmed the regulator spring a little too short so I am only making around 5PSI I was shooting for 7-8 will see if AirDog will sell me a correct set of springs, if not I can just stretch these a little bit, one thing is it will deliver the set pressure even at WOT which will keep the IP a little cooler as it will bypass more fuel.
Yes it is an electric pump, 12V, I have a dual voltage (200A alternator) system and already had a switched (run) 12V supply.Is that an electric fuel pump? 24volt?
To explain farther, it is a Raptor pump made by the same folks that make the AirDog (Pureflow), the DB2 pump is not as affected by entrained air as the high pressure rail systems so I did not see the need to spend the extra money.Is that an electric fuel pump? 24volt?
All,
I am wondering if posting the gun mounts and swing arms I fabricated for my 1123 is allowed on the forum? Maybe an Admin can respond? I spent many hours engineering and fabbing them up. It would be a shame to not share these gems! This is the only reference to posting these items on the forum rules:
• Do not post material dealing with the sale or use of alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. The exception to the rule would be the discussion of rifle mounts or ring-mounts. Firearms discussions is allowed in the designated munitions forum, but be sure to follow all federal, state, and local laws.
.Well I guess its a go. If Admin have issue, feel free to delete. Here is the Barrett mount and the small M2 pintle mount. These work awesome, and make it what they were designed to be GUN Trucks!View attachment 853633View attachment 853634View attachment 853635
Agreed. But they excelled in that role. That is what makes these trucks unique. They can be an ambulance, gun truck, troop transport. Whatever the mission required. I ran M2's on a pedestal and Mark 19's on a turret in the sandbox. We never had all the uparmored stuff in my day. I particularly like the GMV style trucks the SF guys were running. That is how I am setting mine up. A kind of pseudo-GMV that my small budget can handle. I would love to have some Milsys group swingarms and mounts. Way out of my price range. But with a mig welder and a little time. I can fab up some stuff that serves the same purpose. And shooting out of the truck is just downright fun!The HMMWV was not designed to be a "gun truck" it was later adapted to that role.
Also, my kids call it my Zombie apocalypse truck. So there is also that bonus.Agreed. But they excelled in that role. That is what makes these trucks unique.

10 rounds are plenty. I only have a couple of those high dollar mags. At $150 a piece. Barrett wants $1200 for their soft mounts. I fabbed that one up out of 3/8" plate. Might have $250 in the whole shooting match. Rock solid..
Neat!! I like it. Sadly, I have found no larger magazine than the 10 rounders - but still - it is slinging about 660 grrains with the M33 Ball. Energy between 10,000 and 15,000 foot pounds (another measure at between 14 and 18 kilojoules). Still, if you were on the receiving end of the Barrett fired rounds it would be a really bad day!
I don't own a HMMWV.
Not practical on my M936.
I suppose if I had the turret on my M1088 or M1089 maybe...
Maybe on the M37 out back in the bed could work

Wow. A 50 cal tree. Awesome.Merry Christmas for everyone!
