Rebel Rifle Ordnance LLC Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Looking for an adapter to convert a large male pintle for an M23 mount to a 1919 small pintle so it will fit in an M3 tripod. I believe this is what I need. Click on image to enlarge 7031762-NS Assembly, Adapter, Pintle, MK16. MK16 Tripod Pintle Adapter Assembly, without Stop. Can be used to convert most .30/.50 caliber Tripod size pintle for use on a standard pedestal mount. US GI, Excellent Surplus Condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 the example you show in the post is by far the most desirable but also extremely hard to find. if you can use it in your application you might consider the more common type that ordnance research has and maybe BMG PARTS. it is apprx 6" tall has the large male pin and the small socket even SARCO has them at times so it will be much easier to find. good luck! mike todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rifle Ordnance LLC Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks Mike. They do seem to be tough to find. 6" is fine as a little bigger is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I would think that CURT WOLFE at ordnance research could send you the longer one right out if you can get in touch with them. I lost the exact dest for email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
