Of course it is my fault. Brad, I had to pass word to you that it was available, otherwise, with my packratting ways I was going to buy it, and I didn't need two.
For stowing it out the front port, lay it on the bracket which is to the left. It fits rather perfectly on there.
Remember that the carrier was a means of transporting the bren gun (and the one Boys rifle per platoon) into battle, and wasn't meant to be racing at the Tiger tank with the Boys rifle a-blazing. Therefore, if the state of readiness was such that the rifle was mounted up front, it was either being aimed by the crewcommander, or else in it's stowed bracket.
At least that is my theory.
