It would be good if a few of us can work on the project
I downloaded a picture from
www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m2-mg-lar
>From this, the dimensions provided by listers and other pics, it
is my intention to scale it 1:1...viewing the pic, I reckon I can
build a very awesome replica just from basic hardware and metalshop
items..it would be very helpful to actually SEE one. Soon I am
going on holiday to Canberra, and hope to visit the War museum.
They should have one...even a CCKW maybe?
My CCKW has a slight mod, wereby 2" tubes are mounted vertically on the
front of the door gaps..I left them during thr resto, cause i thought they
would be handy later...I can use them as receiving tubes for a tailshaft
with the uni joint on top to mount the M2 replica!

G'day again Tony,
I was wodering if it might be possible to get some of the details of how
to make a .50 cal Browning replica? I've been longing to build one for my
jeep. I agree about the ridiculous laws we have here. I have a few friends
who are into pistol shooting as well as WW2 jeeps and they think it's a
kneejerk reaction to Port Arthur. Anyway, keep going with the resto. I
hope to have my '44 jeep back on the road for next Saturday's Motorfest
on Australia Day. All the MV's will be in Hyde Park.
Cheers,
Steve.
