Is it a Boys rifle in the first picture? Looks very impressive. I'm curious about mounting one of these and the cost to buy a deac Boys. Phil

If you find a Boys rifle in Canada for under 4 grand, run, don't walk, to the bank to get the money. More likely you will be paying in the $5500 to 7K range. Even in the US, where they are easier to come by, the price on them has reached beyond these guidelines. They are also not exportable from the US, unless you are a military or police department, or a military museum. I managed to get mine from the US just as these regs were being tightened up. |

To see what this looks like on a T-16, please reference the latest issue of the MVPA Army Motors. M2 dewats are $5K, by the time a mount, cover, and all the 'bits' make it to your machine. You will need a friend to help - as they are a 'heavy' machine gun! Stewart |

It does look more impressive, so was the Browning often mounted on the carrier and were the base mounts made specifically for it? I do have a fondness for the British gun, however, and would like to mount one or the other. Phil

I like the MMG carriers with the Vickers mounted on the top engine cover, they look awesome.

8th Recce fellows told me they traded Lugers and /or whiskey for .50's. The more firepower the better. Brian

Interesting stories talking to veterans. Anyone have a modern close-up picture of either gun mounted? Isn't the Boys on the prohibited list? Phil

Boys is non-restricted in Canada, same as any bolt action hunting rifle.
