Carrier Pics

8th Recce fellows told me they traded Lugers and /or whiskey for .50's. The more firepower the better. Brian

Interesting stories talking to veterans. Anyone have a modern close-up picture of either gun mounted? Isn't the Boys on the prohibited list? Phil

Boys is non-restricted in Canada, same as any bolt action hunting rifle.

Can you imagine the mess it would make if you shot a moose with it .... baboosh

Yes the moose would be done for. I think my carrier will have to have one, maybe I should start looking. Phil

Here's a few shots of our carrier with the boyes' mounted, (and some not).

The Ottawa events were a real hoot. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can beat being in a line of carriers and other trucks rolling down the fourlane at a fast idle in top gear.

When mounted, the bipod rests against the angle iron "splash rail" mounted across the front of the carrier. The butt rests in a clip, or we tie it in place with a bit of twine.

Although it gets carried a lot, it gets used little. I plan on making a set of chamber/ sub cal adapters so we can popm off a few blanks with it, but that isn't too high on the list of priorities...

(sorry - thought I had more photo's here...)

The second photo shows a fuel/water can holder in front of the driver. That was wrecked when the driver of a quad-runner decided to test how hard the armour was.

3 and 4 are from the Windsor show last year.

More when I can find the sepias' from Ottawa
