Does anybody make ________ welding gun?

[tarbellb]

Im looking for a small (think oem M-10 Miller mig gun) sized gun that features a rotating neck?

I have a Miller Passport Plus that came with the M-10, upgraded to a Bernard 300 amp beast. I love the rotating neck feature on the Bernard but the overall size and weight are total overkill for my work.

Anybody know of a decent priced alternative?

Thanks!

How about a flex neck?
Search this in ebay: Flex Neck Mig Welding Gun Miller M-10 195605 M-15 Parts

they have three different lengths 10', 12' and 15'

I have a Passport plus as well and bought my replacement gun from them several years ago, looks like this one just not a flex head.

Yeah I've always wanted an HTP flex neck. The M10 is a common Miller-backed gun, I mean the "back" machine interface. Point being most things Miller compatible will fit, but around 10 years ago Miller brought out one or two MIGs that used a different-backed gun, I don't remember which.

and I apologize if this isn't what you're wanting. I've not personally seen a rotating gun so I don't know if this fits your criteria.

Thanks guys! I actually went searching a bit further on Ebay and came up on the exact model you guys linked.

I knew they had a M10 replacement but it was harder to find the flex. I think the flex will accomplish the same effect im looking for with swivel. Ill tell you its been a really nice feature to have, keeps hand strain to a minimum.

R.Anderson, you say you bought one of the guns (USAweld brand)? Has it held up? Its super cheap at $63 shipped, has me very tempted.

I can't vouch for the flex neck version but the fixed neck from them I have has held up, still going and I like it.
