Most over priced useless item for WWII Jeep.
I had over 25 NOS in the 80s, they sold out fast, but they are awkward to mount a weapon on and you have to mutilate a good Jeep to install.
I sold mine for $425.00 complete, and incomplete ones fetch $700-$1000 now. I have one new Ammo Box bracket left that clamps to the .30 Barrel.

I asked information for a friend , and he says this "M48" mount has been on the Jeep he bought recently . The cut away glove box door , the holes drilled in the dash , it's call there , except for the M 48 mount .
I thought it would be a hard to find part , but any help is much apreciated ,
and you mentioned the barrel clamp , is it for sale ?

It is up for trade as it is the kind of rare thing that shakes loose rare items I need. It is made toadapt a special .30 Ammo Can to the barrel of the air cooled .30. I may sell if I get unough money.

Is it possible to post a picture of the "clamp" you're selling ?
