Hi all,

I am in the process of fabricating the gallows Bren gun mount for my M3A1 AOP Scout Car. I am hoping to get some measurements of the mount from another AOP owner but I have questions about how this mount on the AOP actually works.

I haven’t seen one of these mounts in the flesh and I am curious about how the Bren is fitted to it.

I’ve attached photographs of the gallows mount. I see it has some sort of cable arrangement on the mount with what appears to be a handle on the end of the cable. The bent part of the mount appears to have a cutaway in it so I presume the cable runs through the pipe part of the mount?

How is the cable attached to the Bren? I am familiar with the Bren but can’t see how the Bren is attached to this.

Can anyone enlighten me or send me some detailed photographs please?
