Dave, have tried calling the Vintage Flying Museum in Ft. Worth and asking them to measure the shroud? Their B 17 is bristling with M2s. Is the shroud on the flexible air craft mounted M2 any different from the ground mounted version?

thanks, i will do that
not a big rush, im selling the ground .50s faster than they can be made.

Dave,

I took some measurements on a .50cal from a B17 which crashed in our neighbourhood.
The .50 cal is displayed in a local museum.
Lenght of the shroud is 605mm's measured from the muzzel end to the threaded part of the receiver.

Hope this helps.
