[simoncrk]

I found this on ebay. Is the .30 cal pedistal home made? If it's not, where do I get one? I need one, I don't know how I've made it this long without one. Anybody know where to get one?

I would say it is homemade, since I have never seen a driver side mounted weapon on a deuce. Email him and see if he can get you some better pics of the mount.

Good Ideer!!! I was just thinkin the samething. I wouldnt think it would be military being on the drvr side. But its not a bad idea. and its gotta be a heck of alot cheaper than a gun ring.

Poof designed a mount that I copied. Real easy, exhaust pipe that slips right into the passenger side door gun ring leg mount and has a swivel from Tractor Supply on the top. Took almost no time to fabricate, no holes to drill on the truck and looks great.

It looks just like some that were "field expedient" in Vietnam.

There is a very slight similarity.

I kinda think that the .30 cal negates the Red Cross on the door, and the driver would be rather busy driving and firing, unless he's Rambo......... Just my .o2 worth, the other expedients seem to be more plausible mounted on the passenger side.....

Absolutely concur. Medical vehicles are not allowed to carry crew served weapons, against the Geneva Convention.

The red cross is not in accordance with US regs either. In reality, I only remember a few medical deuces with red crosses on them. Most don't have them.

Driver would have to have three hands, one to operate the weapon, one to steer, and the other right to shift!
