In order to use the butt rest to stow the Boys in the gunners position, the bi-pod must be removed. Would the mk I mono pod have to be removed as well to stow like this? When the gun is brought into action and when fired from inside the carrier it must really get banged around without it being properly bolted down! Or would the rubber stowage strap up front be enough to hold the barrel down?
Here are some photos showing it mounted...
Above...You can see the mounting lug for the bi-pod or mono-pod and how off center it is when the rifle is stowed in this position.

The parts listing for the Aust Carriers shows an adapter (Item 1227/7) that clamps to the feet of the bipod and mounts into the MG pintle mount, or a steel clamp to allow it to be fitted in other locations around the hull (Item 1227).
