HK Tripod parts inherited.

[Grizwold53]

Hi everyone, I have inherited a Hk tripod with I assume recoil device. If I could identify the parts it would be a great help. I've no idea what to do with them, again if someone could help that would be great.
I would really appreciate any help or advice. Many thanks Nick

It is an HK production tripod for the MG3/MG74 That is partially disassembled- the soft mount is the upper portion of the tripod
