Yes the 'bipod clips and socket' on the rear deck remain a mystery. If a British Boys then no need for removing the monopod, it can stay with the gun. If a Canadian Boys then perhaps the bipod does come off to be stowed on the rear deck. Awkward and I recall the bipod didn't fit the clips anyway (?). The other problem with Canadian guns is the square muzzle that doesn't fit into the round carrier hole. I suppose Canadian Boys, if issued, may have been given British muzzle brakes and instructions to remove the bipod (if even required) for stowing but that would be strange and lead to 'field' replacement problems.
