The M-10 GMC had a .50 mounted in the rear of its open turret. I think I remember reading somewhere that field ordnance units sometimes repositioned the MG so that it could have a forward field of fire. Can anyone verify this or tell me where it was positioned? Bonus points if you can link to a photo...

Its far more common to find field modifications that added additional .50 or .30 machineguns on these vehicles rather than moving the existing gun to a new mounting. The top picture is a fairly common mod adding a machinegun in that approximate position for either the commander or loader's use.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

Thanks all, I am very grateful for the information.

Clearly, Za wins the internets for today.

Do not underestimate the Power of Google

I've often wondered why people don't just go on Google first before asking for a picture here.
Good information is better found here though.

Bigfun...It's a horse!
