There's even a listing of the stores they carried.
I'm not sure what kind of truck it is but it looks like a 2A1 style box although likely a British version.

I've been making a 2A1 box for my Cab 11 to make it an AAAT1 and today I just had to try the motley out for fit. It's going to look pretty good when finished.
I figured something else out too. That pix I posted with the bar for stowing the mount when moving puts it pointing towards the passenger side of the endgate. This accomplishes two things. It keeps the gun from sticking out behind the endgate when stowed and it keeps it out of the way when you climb in over the endgate.

Bren LMG mount
Hey David. Is this where you got your Lewis:
http://www.foxflier.com/lewis/ I recall you mentioning it to me. It does look quite good in the photos. How does it look 'in the flesh'? Cheers Darryl

Darryl, that's the one all right. I didn't like their plastic stock so I made one out of walnut and used an old Lee Enfield butt plate.I also flipped the bottom part of the magazine over and glued some fired .303 brass in the grooves for a more realistic look. I'm going to put the barrel pipe in the lathe to put the grooves in it too. I made the stock extend up through the action part to give more strength and used a piece of 3/8' black iron pipe for the barrel. This made it pretty sturdy.
It looks good when you're back a ways but the plastic hasn't got any fine details in it. Everything is kinda rounded off. For the price it does the job. I know if I drove around with it mounted in a truck the guys in the striped pants would have me stopped in record time. The attached pic shows the stock and barrel I made

I came across these two pix on the G503 forum
http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic...motley&start=0 It looks like a Motley Mk5 with the four springs and round tubing gun support arm and it has the cartwheel type sight. The 303 Browning looks heavy enough that they couldn't mount two or the counterbalance would be overpowered.

Arjan,
You might be interested to know there is a Bren LMG mount in The Netherlands. The Rekwisieten Commissie Koninklijke Landmacht has one in their collection - see the attached picture (source: http://www.vriendenlegermuseum.nl/ev...dagen_2005.htm) HTH, Hanno

Here's a picture that I found on ebay. It was the cover of an American Rifleman magazine.
