For those more knowledgeable than myself on this subject, please peruse and verify. As I recall, the M24A2 pedestal mount was of WWII vintage and was used, with field/shop modifications, on the M37's when they first came out. A new pedestal mount, the M24A3 was ultimately designed specifically for M...
