Boys Anti Tank rifles for the Carriers

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Mounted on its right side and with and without accessories (just to see what you can get away with).

Bruce, That looks good, how does the monopod sit attached to the gun but swivelled forward, which i think the connector allows you to do?. Did you try this?, if so can you still open the locker box?.

They are such gorgeous rifles. It is only a matter of a week or so before my carrier is ready to hold her boys.

Gorgeous and addictive. Once you want one you REALLY want one and with their scarcity (and price) that becomes almost painful!!

I found that the bipod removed from the carrier almost lines up with the clips on the rear. I may have been a bit off with my measurements when drilling the holes. Furthermore if you unscrew the bolt/screw that the bipod attaches/pivots from and keep it with the bipod that part fits nicely in the round bracket with the felt.

Bruce, if you take a picture with the monopod folded that should complete the mystery. Also another member mentioned the wood spacers that go under the long locker box, we think they should be 1/2 " thick, this could influence the locker lid clearance when the Boys is stowed. The picture below shows original spacer in position.

In the Pre Universal Bren carrier they were stowed on their side (and in the other side of the carrier too)

Spacers, huh? Looks like I have more items to add to my 'to do' list. A half inch lift would not make much difference, the lid would still open.

Here's a shot of the monopod folded. No problem with the fit at all.

Mystery solved?

I know what you mean, and no I didn't try it but I don't see why it wouldn't work. There's lots of room forward of the swivel and the monopod does fold up quite a way between the carriage rails. My next challenge for tomorrow evening!!
