Door M-4 Weapon Mounts
Tonight, I completed my cab weapon mounts. Like my M923, I wanted weapon mounts on the doors. Rather than spend $100 for a M939 3 weapon mount kit from TNJM, I spent $70 for two M35A2 weapon kits off ebay (4 weapon mounts total) and fabricated my own 90 degree mount for the forearm mount. I used nutserts for mounting rather than sheetmetal screws. I felt with one good tug on a mounted M-4 and the bracket would pull loose with screws.
I used a piece of 2" metal stock from Home Depot. I cut it down to length to 6 inches. I then used my cutter wheel to make a 1/16" line at the 3" mark. This line will make the metal bend where I want it in a nice clean straight line. I put the metal piece in a bench wise and whacked it a few time with a hammer until I had a 90 degree bracket. I then marked my mounting holes, primed, painted, and bolted her to the truck. I tested my mounting job with my M-4.
On the passenger door, I did need to flip the door handle around to accomodate the M-4 mount. Also, the passenger won't be able to roll the window up/down at their leasure unless they remove the weapon from it's mount.
On the driver door, no issue other than you'll have to move your left arm forward if you rest it on the door.
Pics:
1- Metal Stock cut down to size (2"x6")
2- Putting metal stock in bench vise to bend her to a 90 degree
3- Nothing glorious here, just whacked it with a hammer
4- Two 90 degree brackets ready for mounting holes
5- All the main parts for this project
6- Nutserts installed in passenger door
7- Dash weapon mount. Just got around to mounting the buttstock mounts today
8- Driver side door
9- Driver door fitament test
10- Passenger door fitament test
