HRD,
Not an M23, they called it a 4 hole mount and I thought it looked better and I can up-armor if I want later. It was the cheepest I found M66 compatible.
Here's the url.

HRD,
Here are pic's of the larger 3/8 triangular plate we made. The smaller original one and the leg were bent from use. Look's like a perfect place for a cupholder huh?
See the barrel holder gizmo on the left?
I'm pretty much stopped here until I get some dope on the crossed roller bearings...
That pic was just some plastic to mock things up, I'll post an update with the real thing. Spent $75 to waterjet a bigger better 3/8 steel plate for more support you may want to look at. I had to design stuff real carefully to support the demil weld areas on the ring, so it'll look a little...
HRD,
Yeah we are in an industrial park but these are out of scale for what anybody here handle. Berry Bearings and such. More like construction equipment slewing bearings.
Did you get a manual? Any bearing specs? I tried all the numbers on the bearing cage and none come up. And the TM is...
:(
The M66 Ring Mount wouldn't turn so we disassembled it and it's missing half the roller bearings and retainers. When it was demill torched looks like half the bearings fell out and got lost. Without the M66 data plate I can't find any mfg.
Does anyone have the dope on the roller bearings...
$700 for the M66 and $430 for the legs.
Sellers market now.
Seems like either there's ton's of stuff floating around cheap when I'm not buying,
or scarce high priced stuff available when I'm ready.
