I'm really glad you don't have a copy of Death Traps in that stack of incredible literary art.

I'd kill for a copy of any of Hunnicutt's work at this point. They're all so expensive. Have to settle for the PDFs.

I ordered this turret for my Heng Long. M4A3(76)W go!

Bummer. I paid a lot of money for the Taigen turret...

Is there anywhere to get the Mato turret still?

Forgebear in the UK might have them.

Tho if you are in the US, I'd recommend contacting Firenick on this forum, as his resin turret is the best available on your side of the pond.
You'll need to put in some work to get recoil and elevation set up, but its worth the effort.

I'd post photos of the 3 turrets of his I have built, but Photobucket says I have to pay them $$$...

My apologies for going off topic for a second here, but Derek, please don't close your account or delete all your photos from PB. Leave them right where they are and allow PB to pay to maintain them!! As long as you have that account they have to spend money so let them keep doing it! At the least you'll still be using up some of their storage space. On the other hand, they've ticked off so many they might not be in business a year from now, eh?
