Boys Anti Tank rifles for the Carriers

[Lynn Eades]

Kevin, I think A Bren MkI with extendable legs on the bipod, has a MkII bipod on it.
The Mk I has fixed length legs, as I recall. I guess we shall find out.



Here is a pic to clarify where the third mount is, to support Michael R's post. The third mount is near the top center of the picture. It has a round tube with a rubber liner. Credit to the unknown photo owner(It could be me!)

Extendable legs on the Bren are from the early version, and are a direct lineage to the CZ parent guns. It was later that the feature was dropped as cost/time saving measure.

The bipods do not come off easily from a Bren, unless you take the ring with it that goes over the gas cylinder, in which case it won't fit into that little felt piece. I cannot imagine any reason that you would want to remove one.

I think some of the early monopods from the Boys was adjustable in length....I'll check out that avenue. Perhaps extended to the proper length it will fit these brackets.

Thanks Rob for the reality check. Apologies to Kevin.
