Got my ammo/link tray for the 1919

[adamsredlines]

Not USGI but still pretty neat setup. One side holds about 120 rounds of linked ammo and the other side catches the links as they come out. Brass falls out the bottom as normal so no more digging through grass to find the links and having to separate them from the brass. Its designed to work with the basic tripod and not interfere with articulation which is nice. Will also work with other mounts easily if I ever get a standing anti-aircraft tripod instead of a ground tripod.
Steel is pretty thick (12ga) and I opted for the parkerized finish vs just painted. I think that was a good decision.
Also seen in the back is the new crank for it. I hope to try this combo out on Saturday or Tuesday.
This rig gets heavier and heavier by the day

Very nice! Sounds like you need a hand moving it around at the range.

Once its set up it stays in the same spot until it cools off.
Gun/Tripod/Tray weighs in around 54 pounds (no ammo).
I can put the gun and tripod in my double rifle drag bag...havent figured out transporting the tray yet.

Very nice set up!!!!! Here is the 1919 mount I sold this week. I have another 1919 mount and anti aircraft tripod that I have yet to use but it is on my to do list. It's just a pain in the a** to haul it into the back yard to shoot it and feeding it can get pricey.
