Bren Gun pintle for Brass Mount

[Lynn Eades]

The photo you posted is mine. The Bren Carrier used one of these in the gunners slot, however the Universal carrier had a rubber rest in the front slot. As you would know, there are about 4 of the brass mounts amongst the various rubber / wooden rests on the engine cover as well as on the div. plate, rear plate, and right side. This mount could be used directly into the brass mounts, or the Bren gun could be used against directly on the rests. The "pogo" stick is an aerial mount, for anti aircraft fire. If you search Nigel Wards posts you should find info about repro ones, as it was him who did them.
As a note, I believe a fully kitted carrier had more than 1 Bren gun on board. If I recall correctly, some carried as many as 4. (please dont ask me to substantiate this)
The various rests and mounts gave the crew some options.
I doubt the aerial mount was used at all in ground fighting.
I have the other version of this mount assembly that fits the Bren into the Australian LP2 front mount. It has a bigger spigot.
