L14A1 Carl Gustav 84mm Anti Tank

Roy,
Thanks for that. Yes I have thanks. My brother in law ex boss of 820Sqn Culdrose uses Helston Guns a lot and knows the boss well.
He laid down an offer I gave him for the right hand newer version with its bracket but he declined doing a swap, so I bought a telescope off FleaBay for £40 which was brilliant. Someone was using it on an air rifle!!! He also gave me half of the bracket to hold it onto the tube.
I am currently trying to 3 D Model some bits as one must not forget my intention is to only build two highly reflective models so they can pass close examination.
I can't remember ANY of our Regiments 84mm in gloss green.............they were all IR painted.
Mind you, the failing with that early 70's mix was if you didn't stir the IR paint it came out Gloss, could tht account for why there seem to be those out there like 303 Collectors image that are gloss. Maybe we dulled them down for our BAOR roll in PARA Reg?
Anybody out there know the real answer to that qaundry ?? Also noticed that 303 Collectors bracket is different again to the ones shown on the Helston Guns site so there must have been a few variants to hold the scope onto the tube!!
