Default Gun Mounts

I am still opening boxes of spare parts and accessories from my LP2A purchase. Seeing the previous post on Bren Mounts it prompted me to inspect the gun posts and mounts (Lewis / Hotchkiss / Boys) for mine. I was told by the previous owner are all original. Apologies as I omitted a pic of Hull mount.

I doubt I will ever be able to fill the Hotchkiss mount but who knows??

best regards,
Peter.

Would you be able to do a dimensioned drawing of the boys mount you have pictured there? I'd like to make one for my LP2.

Cheers,
Alex

If you are talking about the WW1 Cavalry Hotchkiss Gun IMA in the states have them if you can import.

Alex, perhaps you could PM me and we can work something out...

Neil, Given our present import laws I don't think I would have a chance.

regards,

Peter.

They are the only source. A batch came out of Turkey in the 1990's along with MG08's and G98's.

A few were sold on the UK Market by Fire Power International which was IMA under another name and the remainder were exported to the states.
