Hey John, does that mnt have a official name?

I picked up a MG3 mnt at Knob Creek several years ago.
See pic if I can post?

It is the bicycle handle type w/can holder. The pintle took some minor die grinder work to get it to drop into a US pedestal socket. I thought it would have been a NATO std.

Havn't seen any of these since and don't know the model of this mnt either.

I don't know of a specific name for either my mount or yours. I've shot from your style... very controllable.

The mount I have is for the ring mount as shown above. I've seen the rings available for sale, but they're so heavy that shipping would be $250 or more just to get it here, so I just get the actual mount when I find it.

I finally got a few more mounts in. See the picture above and below.

I have one that isn't spoken for, so if anyone wants it, let me know. Email or PM, the earliest timed message will get it. $150 + $10 postage. Weight is about 8 pounds.... this isn't a flimsy part, the main boxy part around the attachment point is 3/8", the pivot is cast, and the shell deflector is about 1/8" steel. The grease fitting is for the recoil absorber that's built in.

I may get more in the future - but I can make no guarantee.
