    M-35 gun mounts?? Some Questions.

    I have been been checking out as many threads as I can about gun mounts. Seems that the M-66 ring mount is the one most people have. Is there any type of other mounts that arent so big and heavy, and expensive. What I would eventually like to do is mount a browning .30 cal. Is there any...

    Mag Drill

    "The 3/4" Weldon shank annular cutters (Rotobits) attach to that " as Jones said. I would look into getting that type of attachment. I have used these annular cutters for drilling, and they are the way to go. The mag drill is the only way to go when doing frame modifications. I never did...
