Anybody seen one of these? It is almost identical to the 50R except for the end covers and there are no bolt holes for mounting in winch frame. All the major parts have the same part number or casting number as my Ramsey 50R. More pictures in my album m38mc

They have been discussed several times in the past. It is a much narrower version made for the early APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) M116 Husky. At least one person has discussed widening one to fit the 50/50R mounting.

Read this exchange on the G503:

We know it can be made to fit. That has been mentioned many times in several threads on several sites. A G503 poster explained how it can be stretched back in 2003.

You were given an album back in June but you still haven't sorted out your email bouncing yet which is why you haven't been getting notices in your email when someone responds to one of your posts.

If you happen back across this post your photo album is still at:
