Forgive me for not perusing the archives of the forum, it's after midnight and I lack coffee. I'll review things a bit more closely tomorrow, but I thought others might have a better memory than I.
I recall reading a few months ago that there was a forum reader who had made an interesting can mount that would fit atop a tripod and hold a .30cal can with ammo on the left, have a built-in link chute and a holder for a .30cal can on the right to collect links. This was designed to be compatible with the 1919 adapters for the MG42 AA tripods (and presumably M2 tripods as well). I also seem to recall it having a T&E mechanism, though I'm not sure if that was part of the AA tripod or part of the can-mount apparatus.
I'm finally moving out to Arizona, and am looking to get one of Emory's crankfire adapters (not legal in California, where I live, but is perfectly legal in Arizona, where I'll be after mid-August). Obviously, shooting it from a homemade wood mount isn't terribly useful (I built it to prevent me from having to stack sandbags for the gun, control recoil, and take a bunch of the weight off the barrel shroud), and I'd like to get a good tripod, an adapter for the 1919 as necessary, and the steel can mount for ease of operation and clean-up.
If anyone could refresh my memory, I'd be most grateful. Any links to the folks who make/sell the can mount or tripods would be most excellent.
Muchos thanks!
