anyone seen this weapons mount before?

[bigbird1]

I got this find from a guy who dad passed and was into military trucks. anyone tell me where it goes on a 2 1/2 ton and what weapon it holds. thanks

It says "Submachine gun" on the paper.....My guess would be a .45 cal Thompson.

 

[bigbird1]

what about the 7.62 part, m1 grand ? and where does it mount ?? someone has to know . I did a search and numbers don't come up with google

 

[DUECE-COUPE]

Could it be for the BAR?

Submachine gun shows 9mmc1
SMG 9mm C1

7.62 mmfn brings the FN rifle to mind
Is this a Canadian mount?

 

[Stan Leschert]

That was made for both the Stirling 9 mm SMG and also the FN C1 (7.62).

Yes, it is Canadian. I have used them more than a few times!

I want it. And I want what goes in it.

Pretty please???

I was gonna guess M-3 SMG and M14 but that didn't exactly match a deuce...and the 9MM was off as well!

My next guess would have been some kinda NATO mount.

Glad you ID'd it Stan!!

Stan any idea on where it mounts? Wonder how it ended up in the US?

 

[Chief_919]

yep, definitely Canadian. All Canadian NSN's have 21 as the 5th and 6th digits, while US NSN's are 00 and 01.

It mounts somewhere between an SMG and a truck

Sorry, I couldn't resist.


Stan?

The mounting point on the MLVW (CDN M35) and M135 / M211 was in the corner of the back wall of the cab.
On M38 and Ilitis jeep wannabe's it was on the floor pan, on the outer side of the seat, without the butt pad. (SMG only)

The mount was designed so that it could hold the Fabrique Nationale Assualt rifle (Great Piece of Kit) or the 9mm Stirling (Sten) Sub Machine Gun.

The double clips were for the SMG and the butt pad would enable it to hold the FN.

I don't have pic of it, but you can ask on MLU FORUM - Powered by vBulletin

Some of our crew should still have some photos and maybe a TM or 2.

I was too busy actually working to snap photos.

Pretty neat mount

WSUCOUGARX had it half right.

Every now and then we get some good gear up here.
When I first saw that mount, all that I could think, was ...

Crap, That makes sense.
That didn't come out ot OUR supply chain!

It did, and it just worked!

If you tried to mount the FN C1 A2 (full auto... the new Bren Gun) in it,
the bipod and the extended magazine,
were a very effective skin exfolliant.

It took your elbows and any other exposed skin right off!

The other thing that we got right was the cargo roof rack for the M35.
