Hi, Does anyone have pictures for the boys rifle stowage brackets in the rear of a Mk1 carrier, I have an original middle bracket but need details for the other two, I have carrier parts to trade if anyone has these items going spare.
Thanks Kevin.

Here is the one that mounts on the bulkhead and the one that supports the barrel part way. Followed by the one that bolts to the rear plate to support the butt end. (If anyone has an original one of these for sale/trade I'd like to know)

Boys anti tank front support
Hi, Underneath the rear battery box on a Mk1 there are three brackets that hold the Boys riflle front support, is this support designed for the 'T' shape Mk1 Boys rifle or for holding the later style Mk2 'V' shape support.

I am not sure. I think the later Boyes is too long to fit in the carrier, so it's probably for the early one.

The second mark of muzzle brake makes the gun too long. I believe brakes were retrofitted to earlier guns.
One would expect that the mounts would be for the earlier version anyway, as that is what was in place in 1940. But I have tried both style front mounts from my Boys rifles and never had luck figuring which went into those clips and socket at the back.

Boys Monopod stowage
 Hi, I had a couple of new old stock boys monpod/tripod mounting clips which I offered up on the rear of the carrier, I tried a boys Mk1 monopod in the Mk1 carrier rear stowage position, why does it not fit?.Kevin.

Boys A/T rifle bits
Hi,
I'm looking for the lower half of a Boys, that is the 'carriage', pistol grip, monopod, etc., (non-pressure bearing parts) and also an early round muzzle brake. I know these parts are difficult to come by, but hope springs eternal.......
