Bren guns on post war jeeps

[maple_leaf_eh]

The 7.62 #2's rifle is a good idea. I am very surprised to see that these are not being properly supported. I had the idea these rifles were chosen as a long range standoff 'assist' for the guy on the .50cal, and therefore a legitimate part of the weapons family. At a glance the AR looks just like everyone elses' C7 rifle.

As for MGs on M38A1s, I saw a fellow who had his own machine gun mount on a Jeep. It replaced the windshield using the same hinge pins and over-centre locks. The idea was to hose clamp the barrel of a C2 LMG (a pi$$-poor replacement for the BREN in the opinion of anyone who shot both) to a T-spud. On the base was a butt keeper to secure the C2 across the vehicle, and a short length of tubing to hold the spud. I don't have any photos of this mount and am describing it from memory. The BREN mounts in the photos elsewhere in the thread have a more elaborate arm in place of the spud.
