Tim nothing yet but I can tackle that project soon have evreything ready to roll just need to whip something out. Were you looking to go with a shield as well or just the mount?:army:

I'd really like a DShK to Goryunov mount adapter. It'd be nice to be able to use -- or modify and use -- the Goryunov shield.

Then there is the charging handle issue for the DShK.

KGP,
Yea that's the little part that will take a little more time.:big: I do have an original DShK AA Tripod so I have something to work off at least and was taking measurements off the cradle today. I really need to start making repro's for everyone since there are so hard to find. I think the SG43 tripod/cradle is a good idea for now so at least people can use there Dshk's for the time being until a full size repro can be offered. Will see what I can do!:army:

1919: Sounds good. I'll keep checking here for any progress. I agree people need some way to shoot their guns.

Don't think the Gory shield will be usable on the Gory mount with the DShK without cutting a good sized hole in the shield. Should not be too hard to cut a new DShK style shield out of 1/4" plate.

Shell casings can be used to operate the charging handle.

Since I need the gun mounted in less than two weeks, I am working on my own mount that should be good enough for blank fire. Not sure if I would trust my design to live rounds. Should have photos by the end of the weekend.
