I used to stow my mk1 Boys rifle in it's holders without any major issue. The only issues I had earlier were the use of the flat style muzzle break, which does not fit into the carrier, but I know both Kevin and Bruce have that problem licked.
I am nearing completion of my current carrier, so hopefully in the next month I can verify the fit of my current Boys rifle in my current carrier.
I would love to solve the mystery behind what exactly went into those little stowage clips on the back deck of the carrier. The carrier was designed for the earlier Boys rifle, so they will not be for the two legged V bipod. Peter Laidler is supposed to have a small book on the Boys rifle available at some point. Perhaps I'll contact him on another forum and see what light he can shed on it.
