Looking for pintle/cradle/mount for M249 SAW. Rusty/damaged ok... I can restore.

Cheers,

Are you looking for the M60 Pintle that the M249 can clip onto? I have one you can have for $90 shipped.

Or the older M2 Tripod Soft Mount Cradle? $300-500 or more

Or Military Systems Group Cradle Mount for the weapon and ammo drum clipped to the dovetail on the left side? $500 to $1000+

I think the Post-Vietnam to 1990s M142 Pintle/Cradle we used to mount M60s to our M1025 HMMWV will work for the M249, too

Thanks. Nice assortment!

Looking for something like options 2 or 3.

Cantilever arm mount would be ideal.

I can fabricate the arm mount... but the cradle is the tough part.

I might just 'bite the bullet' and get an ORI mount. https://ordnanceresearch.com/m240-249-cradle/ But first checking on what's in the surplus world.

Cheers,

Still looking. Great exchange with Westboro... but I was a couple of day short, even though he was a great gentleman and had some nice mounts... My fault for missing out!

Still looking for a SAW mount with a box-holder, ideally.

Thanks all!

Cheers,

Sirhr,

How many cradles do you need? I might have a couple laying around.

But still looking.

Looks like I have a mount inbound from dirtysanchez...

He seems to have several nice ones!

Great G503 member to deal with!

I'll post pictures when it gets here!

Just FYI, my mount came in from DirtySanchez earlier this week.

Fantastic! Exactly what I wanted and in outstanding condition.

Excellent gentleman to deal with.

I am working on the swing arm now and will post when I have it finished!

Cheers and thanks for a smooth and professional transaction!

Sirhr
