Need two ring mounts from the AFV Club M548 gun truck (or the stock M548) for a project. Don't need the supports.

Happy to cover shipping, and a small fee if you want.

Many thanks

Joe.

AFAIK, and just to broaden your search, the M66 gun ring used with the M548 is the same as the one included in the M35 kits from the same manufacturer...

Joe, did you try AFV's customer service ? While I don't know anything about AFV's ordering of parts. I recently got a free part from Tamiya CS and had to pay Dragon $5 for another missing piece. Both kits were opened/as is, cheap kits purchased at a club kit auction. No obligation to the manufacturer to make it right.
It's worth a try. Good Luck !

Joe,

I think that I have a M548 and if I do, I won't want the gun ring mount. Let me check tonight.

Sorry for the (unwillingly) duplicated post...

Frenchy, I kind of figured most M35 builders would be using the M66 mount, but the M548 guntruck is seldom shown with it installed so my chances were better there.

But if somebody out there has one, I'd be interested.

Joe,

I am afraid that my search has come up empty. Sorry about that. I will ask at the club for you.
