    Hi, does anyone have a picture of what the Bren GAPs look like?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The only handy picture I can think of is in the Grand Old Lady Of No-Mans-Land by Dolf Goldsmith. They are in relation to the Vickers but the GAP's were the same. Rare as rocking horse shi........., er, manure

    I would love to read that book, but it's hard to justify spending $500 + .

    It is, but not for the Bren/Vickers. Looks like 81mm mortar but BAR will confirm. The Bren Vickers ones are as rare as sailors parachutes

    Ok, got off my arse and looked at D Goldsmith, different post indeed. Hell of a set up with all the lamps and bells and whistles the old gun aiming post!

    I had some of the lamps, made by Lucas if i remember correctly.

    Yes, it's an aiming post, but no CDN from any time I saw. It's not a CDN 81 mortar...

    I'll supply some pics of the Vickers/Bren GAP's in the days to come. I'm cleaning up a set.

    Might be Britishicon or Oz folded down as I've just noticed the little extended foot thinggy for pushing the bottom section into the ground with your boot that we had
