What is it for

[motto]

Hi Tony

The one (or is it two?) in your second photo appears to be identical to what you have with the trunnion mounting forward of the receiver.

A nice little conversation piece.

Hi David

You are correct. A mate has offered me the rear handles and I am in the process of converting it to gas firing.

Cheers

That is an aircraft mount, very much the same as the .50 aircraft mount.
A friend of mine has one the same as your photo and was found in Pottsdamn Germany in the late 70,s however couldent tell if it was the .303 version or .30.

Hi Jason

You can never be sure of these things but I don't remember ever seeing a .303 Browning with a fat, stubby barrel jacket like the thing Tony has. The standard .303 barrel jacket is quite slender with a distinctive flash cone at the muzzle.

If you have a picture of a Lancaster the things are sticking out everywhere. If you've seen anything different I'd be curious to know.
