So, if I show up with a carrier of two...we can take it out for a couple shots? Maybe somewhere up in Brecon where we can't hurt anyone? Throw it all in the car and go?

Jim,
As you know, as a Trustee of our Regimental museum, we needed a Charlie G for a display, and would you believe there wasn't one deac available through the usual MOD unit, so I decided to make one, and a spare for me as in the picture.
I bought oddments for them both, such as the telescopic sight, and handles and covers and Bob's your uncle. The Venturi doesn't open but someone with a decent cutting saw could achieve it easily, to accept the drill round!!

It looks pretty convincing. I had to carry one of those for five days on my Inf Pl 2I/C course. Seemed nobody else wanted it. As you know, fire and movement with the 84 can be a pig when you're already beat.

Back in the day when I was a Super Grunt, we were on exercise with little sleep in a few days.
We were tasked to establish an OP on a particular ridgeline in the dark.
One big beefy member was carrying the CG, when we finally got established I did a head count....one short.
So off back down the mountain I went....found the gun before the gunner, sticking up out of the mud like a marker on a grave, the digger curled up out of the mud snoring.....boy were we beat.....bloody hard work back then.

I'm going to try it for size in a slightly different attitude shortly, i.e. parallel to the horizontal and report back.

It's Great But It's Little Bit Small But It's Still Good Tho.
