What is the difference between a Mount MK93 MOD 2 and an MK64 MOD1. They both have the same NSN. On my property book, it list the LIN as the MK93 MOD2. The SUBLIN as the MK64 MOD1. The TM list it as the 93 also. Is their documentation that says the MK64 MOD 1 is now the MK93 MOD 2? I want to make sure I'm signing for everything I'm supposed to have.
The MK93 is designed for both the heavy barrel .50cal M2 Machine Gun, and the MK19 to fit on the M3 tripod and various vehicle ring mounts, and pedestal mounts.
The Mk 64 is an older style mount that is designed for the M2, M69 and Mk19. It serves the same as the above MK 93 mount but has a whole bunch more components, and requires different configurations in order to fit onto the vehicle or mount you want to use.
Basically, the MK 93 is newer and more efficient.
