Scout T5329

[The Bedford Boys]

I've seen photos of Boys rifles mounted in Australian Carriers, but haven't yet seen any photos of them in Kiwi carriers. So these mounts existed in Australia at least.

My hull having the holes for this mount could be a cross-over from the Australian blue-prints on which our kiwi LP's are based? There are Boys rifles here in NZ though, so they could've been mounted in Carriers.

There is a boys mount in the LP Carrier books that is essentially two hooks that clamp the rifle down on to the bracket. The bracket then fixes to any vertical flat plate on the carrier. Perhaps this kind of hook arrangement is also used in the Scout mount? I'll see if I can find a picture to show you what I mean.
