M31C .30 Cal Browning MG mount for M38A1 Jeep

'Afternoon Everyone,

Would anyone have a schematic drawing (or photo) with measurements for an M31C .30 Cal Browning MG mount, as fitted to M38A1 Jeeps?

Our museum (Ashton Armoury Museum, here in Victoria, BC) is looking to replace the jury-rigged mounting with the correct (and safer) mounting, and we're going to try and replicate one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris Preston,
Victoria, BC

No exports, won't even answer the phone or emails from outside the US!

Thanks Ed and Tony,

I contacted BMG Parts and is noted in your replies - they won't export! I was referred to Sarco Inc. as another source, but the price was too high, hence my request for schematics.

Cheers,

Chris, in Victoria

Why not get a US PO Box in Port Angeles have the item shipped there and then bring it back on the ferry to Victoria?

Are you looking for what is commonly referred to as the Z arm mount that goes the right had side of the Canadian Military M38A1s?
