New cast Bren gun pintles

[Lynn Eades]

So Australian armoured cars, and beer, both use the adjective (?) "light", just for the sake of using up irrelevant, or spare words?

Very true Lynn, but I think you have the right word. "irrelevant"

Lynn and Colin - I don’t know what you two are trying to say by emphasising the word “irrelevant”. The adjectives “light, medium and heavy” when classifying military vehicles, especially armoured vehicles, are very important as they portray to the reader the basic capacities and capabilities of the vehicle. It is a way of differentiating between say, reconnaissance vehicles such as a Ferret and a heavy tank. It is also a reference to the weaponry the vehicle carries. It takes no extra energy to use the correct terminology.

I guess we were (or I was, at least) being flippant , because it seemed to me that if (some)one had one of those armoured cars, and needed some of those gun mounts, then it would be irrelevant as to whether it was "light" "medium" or "heavy". They would still need the mounts.

I picked up the first cast today, they look good. the one shown is in its raw state as recieved from the foundry. I also picked up the front armour light cable cover.

If anyone wants any of these parts just let me know and i can get them made in the first batch.

Thanks
