Dear MSG C.W.,
There is good news and bad news on the HMMWV
weapon shield. The good news is that although the shield
was originally designed only for the M1114 Up-armored
HMMWV, it now can be used on the M1025/M1026 also.
The weapon shield kit, NSN 2510-01-498-4996, contains
the shield, brackets, adapters, hardware and installation
instructions and costs around $1,560.
The bad news is that there aren't many weapon shield
kits available. If your unit wants the weapon shield, sub-
mit a funded requistion to TACOM using the correct
Priority Designator and Project Code. If you have ques-
tions about ordering the shield, contact TACOM's Herb
Reeves at DSN 786-8180/COM (313) 574-8180 or email
reevesh@tacom.army.mil
The weapon shield weighs 116 pounds and must be
considered as part of the vehicle payload. If you're
installing it on the M1114 for the first time, you will need
the turret stop ring, NSN 2510-01-501-2691. If you
install the shield on an M1025/M1026 with a serial num-
ber prior to 189936, you will need
to install the improved turret lock
ring, NSN 2590-01-192-4525.

HMMWV…
HMMWV…
Dear Half-Mast,
How do I get a
weapon shield for the
HMMWV that pro-
tects the machine
gunner? I've seen the
shields on HMMWVs
but can't locate an
NSN for the shield.
MSG C.W.
the gunner shield
can now be used
on m1025/m1026
hmmwvs.
U
nits mounting the M6 pedestal over the
back wheel wells of HMMWVs in order to
increase their range of fire, hear this: That
can damage the pedestal and the HMMWV's
bed. But there is a fix. If you can locally pur-
chase steel stock, nuts, bolts, and washers
and are able to do welding, contact TACOM-
Rock Island for field fix instructions and a
parts list. The POC is Bill Jensen, DSN 793-
3677/(309)782-3677, or email
jensenW@ria.army.mil
Or you can order an adapter kit with NSN
1005-01-514-4332 for $130. All you need to
do is bolt and tack weld the pieces together.
If you want the kit, contact TACOM-RI's
Sandy Miller at DSN 793-0566/(309) 782-
0566 or email
millers2@ria.army.mil
