Unique MG08 sled mount used by the Russians and equipped with Sokolov wheels.

I have to say, I like the aesthetics of both mounts but I do not like them blended notwithstanding the practical application of the wheels. I never had the privilege to haul a sled mount over no man's land, but it sure is a nice piece of equipment as the Fatherland made it, no wheels.

Originally the Fatherland did make it with wheels. Look at the MG01 Sleds....
