our V100's had a pair of those in the turret mount. they were something, when they worked right. took a little practice to get used to. spin the turret manually with your left hand, raise and lower the barrels with your right hand, and depress the firing button with your right thumb, 6 to 9 round bursts, all at the same time, while working the radio and intercom through your CVC helmet. never saw one an M151 though. i'd like to see a picture when you're done.

Not sure how they made this work, but they have something to hold ammo boxes up near the guns.

I do see some stuff on the Numrich Gun Parts website for the M73 - it looks like they have new charger housing assemblies, which I believe is something you need!! (I had to look at our picks on militaria.com as the ones here have been lobotomized and hard to read).

They also have the charger handle!!! Kinda exciting looking at the exploded views and finding stuff you need. It's like Christmas!!
I just bought two 1919A4 kits for my MUTT as well. Christmas came early for me!!
