Richard P. That is a good detail photo. Any chance of sending me high res. copies of what you can get on that carrier?
Kevin, You have a Boys? With regards to Tony's photos (red peg, red square) What do those pins do? and how do they come out? Tony's idea is good to me.
Your buffer spring appears to have about 19 turns, while those on Ben's mount appear to count about 14/15. Are they cut down buffer springs on the mount?Free length? As Alex points out, recuperator springs in guns are often square section.
Bruce, A Vickers water cooled M.G. wouldn't fit through the gun apeture in the Scout. Not in the lower section, that is.

The bits will turn up. For years I never knew anything about Bren 100 round mags, then I came across a box for them with the instructions under the lid. Then later someone on this forum made a run of them (mags)
