Weasel pedestal weapon mount

[04mustang]

Does anyone have photos that show weasels with a pedestal mount for something like a 1919? 

I'm really curious how that wpuld be mounted in the cargo area with the design of the weasels being what it is.

Thank you!

The Weasel where never fitted with any pedestal mount.

@04mustangThis is the only photo I have showing a Weasel going into action with the British Vickers K machine gun. I could be wrong about the machine gun model/type as I am not an authority on weapons.

might be your man for advice on how to mount a machine gun into your weasel.

As was stated.......Weasels were not designed to have guns mounted on them. It was a cargo carrier and not a tactical vehicle. 

There was no gun mount kit ever designed for them in WW II. Post war there was a recoilless rifle mounted on some Weasels.

That said....there are always people in the armed services that just have to mount some sort of weapon on everything from trucks to toboggans and even skis .......

The British experimented with flame throwers on them.

One of the first "cobbled up" MG mounts on a weasel was on a T-15 in Camp Hale, Colorado. Here is a photo of it.
