Default Aiming post

Hi Jared good to hear from you,thanks for the reply, I have three early carriers here one is 595 and I have another one 258,they all have provision for the Vickers cleaning rod on the gunners side of the carrier mounted in clips on the side wall next to the gunners leg, the diameter of the rod in the side bracket is too large to fit the bore of the .303. Vickers ,Page 91 of the manual Carriers, Machine Gun L.P 2&2A dated 1941 states Post Aiming,MGMk 111.On outside ofHull.L,H upper side plate, this is where I obtained the pic that I posted, any way mate thanks for your reply, how are your carriers coming along ? any up dates on them, Regards Ron
