sabre Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hello, can someone tell what weapon this gun clip is for? It is marked FV757210. Ideal would be to have a picture or drawing with the weapon in the clip(s). Thanks Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Some lead pointed me into the direction of Bedford and SLR.... Could that be possible? Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hello, can someone tell what weapon this gun clip is for? It is marked FV757210. Ideal would be to have a picture or drawing with the weapon in the clip(s). Thanks Piet I have never seen this type of mount before (Which is suprising as an Armourer!) But looking at the angle of the inside. It would SUGGEST that it may be from an Armoured vehicle. As some armour sides are sloped, when this clip is mounted flat on an angled plate. The gun would be at the correct flat plane to be out of the way without too much sticking out. As it has an FV number on it. Clive Elliot MAY just be able to ID it from his vast library resource! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff66 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 old ad on fleabay suggests slr/sa80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) I don't know sorry I'm not into weapons, but it comes up as 2540-99-825-2683 Clip, rifle stowage. Also used by Belgium. I'll have to go into microfiche to get more details. So hang on. PS Can't find it catalogued on fiche. So what vehicle & what weapon was used by just UK & Belgium? If anyone knows the vehicle I have most IPCs in fiche but working backwards through all vehicles would take some time.

ferretfixer Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 old ad on fleabay suggests slr/sa80? I dont think It's either of those. SA 80 hase dedicated type covered in black rubber skin. SLR are the old Ally types with leather covered springs. Common as heck! (usually painted Bronze Green) Silver paint finnish is indicative of AFV Usage. The little rubber bump block at the bottom is not typicaly Brit either. :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows the vehicle I have most IPCs in fiche but working backwards through all vehicles would take some time. The only common vehicles used by Belgium and the UK were the CVR(T) series. Based on previous personal experience, mainly in Landies, we used the fitted weapon clips for SLR AND SMG. I don't think that weapon clips were weapon-specific.

sirhc Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think they're probably for the Sterling SMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brinv8 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Not too sure if this helps - It's stamped FV757181 and was removed from a scrap Saracen amoungst other items to refit into a Saracen restoration a few years ago. I believe it's one of a pair of brackets to hold the spare barrel for the turret mounted 30cal. or the bren gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Elsdon Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The SLR L1A1, was a british development of the Belgian FN FAL, so im betting if its a shared belgian/brit part thats the weapon its for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 OK, knowing where the clip comes from :cool2: it will almost certainly be cvrt/fal-slr than. If I get hold of an slr and/or sterling, I will try them in. Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
