MGs on land rovers
« on: January 21, 2015, 12:27:23 PM »
Is the a thread somewhere just for info and pics about weapon mounts and the various weapons themselves as fitted to land rovers? I'm thinking of convoy escort vehicles in svn, other mods in svn or sr3 vehicles in Aussie service.
Someone posted a pic of a forward facing .30cal on a sr3 and I'll be buggered if I can find it.

Lots of MG mounts on gunbuggies and the LRPV but outside those not sure I've seen one on a GS or FFR SIII.

There is FFRman's thread http://remlr.com/forum/index.php?topic=1150.0 and also the file http://remlr.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9.0;attach=9643 with a number of the pedestals.

I have pics of S3 and 110 vehicles with mounted weapons, but none for a series 3 at all that I can find in the archive. so if you find any let me know.  May have been a RAAF ADG unit though?
