Default help! M240 gun mout? How to use?

I have this m240 replica BB gun for my HMMWV .

I have the turret shield and pedestal mount, but I can not figure out how this gun mount goes on the rifle. It looks like maybe one piece is on upside down. I have pins to hold it on.

Any suggestions or pictures appreciated.

Default RE: help! M240 gun mout? How to use?

1. Drop and do 20 push-ups
2. Do not call a MACHINE GUN a RIFLE
3. Check these links for some photos and information on the machine gun on various mounts and vehicles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M240_machine_gun and http://tech.military.com/equipment/v...chine-gun.html

Google M240 Machine Gun for more

When I was a tank commander we had the M240 as the co-axial machine gun (a fixed mount in the turret) with the M60D on an exterior mount for use by the loader and a .50 cal at my tank commanders position. Since then the variants of the M240 have pretty much replaced the variations of the M60. Heavier gun but seems to hold up better.

when it comes down to it that fancy mount is not nesessary, this is the one you need. when using the earlier buffered mount the standard spring washer stock buffer was used. with the newer rigid mounts like yours & those below the hydraulic stock buffer was used...
