Default Bren Gun Mounts

Hi Darron - hopefully the attached images will help. Perhaps you should consider buying my photocopies of Carrier manuals. Details are in For Sale Or Trade.

Lynn, not seen the t16 mount used in universal carrier, saying I have seen the Aussi mount in British carriers, seen a photo also of Aussi mount being used in a universal full sided carrier, will try and find it. I have access to one in the UK to copy next week.

kev.

Nice picture Mariano, There must have been a shortage of front guards, or some sort of trial going on. Any info with the picture?
