See the Mounted MG photo for terms. Note that it is the later 76mm turret
with the oval loader's hatch. The pintle is the fork that the gun sits in,
allowing it to swing up and down while swiveling in the pedestal. It is
part A96 on the Italeri M4A1 kit. Part A93 is supposed to be the
"Travelling Lock" for use when the MG is mounted in the hole in the loader's
hatch ring. The real thing is a bar with one of those "broom clips" on the
end. There should be a locking lever in the socket on the hatch ring, just
like on the back of the turret. The stowage brackets are molded as part of
A82. Obviously, they need some detailing.
