Don't waste your time with a boys (pun intended) rifle - get a .50, like in the flood photo.

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!

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.

Can you imagine the mess it would make if you shot a moose with it .... baboosh

[Phill]

Yes the moose would be done for. I think my carrier will have to have one, maybe I should start looking. Phil
