Default Vickers tripod and mount

Hi

We are in the process of restoring a Bren gun carrier. Unfortunately we can't have the complete gun sitting in it but would like to have the tripod installed in the rear compartment and the cradle mounted in front.

Chasing complete mount and tripod or parts of that we may be able to make one up for display.

Thanks Eben

I may have a lead of a Vickers tri-pod, but I am in Canada, so shipping would be near impossible

HI Dean

Thanks for the reply, pm sent
I realise getting one in Australia may be difficult so will also look at getting from overseas. Heavy but hopefully still shippable

Thanks Eben

Eben, I suggest you ask your local arms officer to see if you can indeed import it. I am a kiwi, and don't know your laws.
wishing you success in getting one.

Hi Lynn

Thanks for your post, I know we can't have the machine gun but have not heard of any restrictions on the tripods but will ask the question

Thanks Eben
