16-253 Garand Picture of the Day

[Woodsy]

The M31 mounts on the Jeeps were mounted though the floor onto three points on the chassis. The rear two legs were bolted to the side rails, and the front leg was bolted to a special plate mounted on a cross-member. Not all Jeeps were manufactured to take these mounts. These three steel T section legs distributed the recoil, but the .50 M2 was a lot harder on the mount than the .30 M1919A4.
