fv1609 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 So it looks like it is designed to be pivoted.........? Hmmmm yes sort of, but more of a support/locating role rather than pivoting round & round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've seen one in the bargain bin in my local ToolMart, or was it Aldis? £14.99. Great value. I bought twelve. Flogged the lot on EBay for £14.98. Still haven't got a clue what they are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Flogged the lot on EBay for £14.98. I think you should have put on a higher reserve, there were probably little more than 2 dozen of these things made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) So it's hinged at the rear, got a handle and toggle switch on the front, has something inserted into the front yet the rear is blocked by a plate and it's not part of any sighting appartus but was found (in small numbers) as part of a Hornets kit. Was it part of the missile launcher - looks like this is it at the very top of the launcher cradle: Edited November 15, 2009 by Marmite!!

fv1609 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 looks like this is it at the very top of the launcher cradle: Neil yes very well spotted & researched. But that was only its storage position it could not be used where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
