BRDM Driver Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Anyone got a good source for FV430 series drivers periscope and commanders periscopes? (that don't cost a mint!) To go in an Abbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobie4942 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Drivers periscopes for a 433 are like Hens Teeth, if you have one still fitted my advice is leave it in. As for the Commanders ones try ebay, GreenMachineSurplus. Niallmhor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRDM Driver Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have a drivers periscope but the aluminium has shattered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobie4942 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) hi BDRM , In that case you will have to keep your eyes open for one , our Abbot has the same problem the Drivers scope has fuzes to the metal so till we can get a new one it stops in. Use to drive one in the Royal Artillery , the scopes remained in the gun store and was only fitted for exercise Edited February 20, 2019 by Scoobie4942 forgot to add something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yep, thats the one! FV462431 is the part code for the upper section. My lower half is servicable, the upper half is gone! Just a big block of glass which is not impossible to get out.... Wher about's are you and how much for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobie4942 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ours is the same as yours it's wielded together that why it's still in and besides I don't think the Boss will part with anything that is on the gun at the moment " Blood out of a stone" comes to mind. So you will have to keep your eyes open for your Driver Periscopes sorry about that BDRM Dvr . Scoobie4942 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
