Wanted: Carrier parts and accessories wanted

[rob love]

While the front mounted 50 cal was not a standardized or approved modification, it was done with fair frequency. As such, there is no right or wrong mount to use. Some of the photos I have seen show them using the same mounting bracket as the halftrack. BMGParts has them listed on their mounts page. http://www.bmgparts.com/mount.html
Then you would just use the standard cradle.

I can't help think that the 50 must have really rattled the armour on a carrier.

For the smoke discharger mount, I believe Rod Shaver has them, either originals or repros.
