    M142 Cradle and M66 Gun Ring

    Just received my M142 Cradle. Tried placing it in my ring mount, but the darn thing is to short to be caught by the pintle lock to be captured and secured. TM 9-1005-245-14 says this cradle and ring should work and has no mention of adapters etc. What's up?

    New Parts Truck

    So I finally figured out how to get pics off of my phone, so I figured I'd post up my latest arrival. It's an M-211 with a DD of 1954 if I recall. Most of the body and frame are shot. But the truck runs, has good axles, and some body parts are still salvageable. Many thanks go to my good...
