I am looking for a M142 long neck cradle for my repop M60. I have a M4 pedestal in my M151A2 now. Can someone direct me to any M142 cradles for sale? Thanks

I found mine at BMG Parts. It is a demil that has a long pintle welded on. It is very well done. They are the only ones I could find with one. It is not cheap. It was $499 I believe, but that seems to be about the going price, and up. I did have to paint it, but it was in pretty good shape paint wise when I got it.
Good luck

Remember, there are short pin ones (for Humvee's, I believe) and long pin ones.
The short pin ones are fairly common, therefore cheaper. The long pin ones, which are needed to fit most "standard" mounts are rarer, thus much more expensive.
You can modify your mount by adding a cross pin further up the tube to lock the pintle, or you can lengthen the short pin to fit the longer mounts. WGTactical added a bit that bolts on the end, I believe that was in his V100 mod thread.
Cheers

After I sent the reply, I got to thinking. I may have gotten mine from U.S. Collectors Ordnance instead of BMG Parts. I do not remember for sure, but it was one of the two.Bob
