Why is a m.g. mount for a ferret and some other vehicles so hard to find? There should have been thousands produced...most photos ive seen...canadians removed the "chicken handle" the fold down firing handle...i m looking for one to complete 54-82589.....any ideas?

They were also used on the Lynx (M113 carrier C&R). I know of someone who had them...shoot me a PM.
